Bangalore | Oct 21, 2010: The Karnataka High Court today reserved its orders on petitions filed by 11 rebel BJP MLAs challenging their disqualification,...
... Former Attorney General Soli Sorabjee and Satyapal Jain, counsels for Yeddyurappa, today argued that Bopaiah not only relied on the October 6 letter of the 11 MLAs withdrawing support to the government but also on their conduct. ...
... Jain said the petitioners never challenged "any findings recorded by the Speaker" on the disqualification, "there is no submission in the petition (to the Speaker) that his order is perverse. Even if a member does not say that he is voluntarily giving up his membership, an inference can be drawn from the conduct of the member that he is voluntarily resigning from the membership," he argued.
