Supreme Court to hear plea of 5 more rebel MLAs of Karnataka today

In a crucial hearing on the Karnataka political crisis today, the Supreme Court will examine "weighty" constitutional issues in the resignation and disqualification of 15 rebel MLAs of the ruling Congress-JD(S) coalition.
Days after dealing with the plea of 10 rebel MLAs on July 12, the apex court will today hear five more rebel MLAs who have sought identical relief that Karnataka Assembly speaker K R Ramesh Kumar accept their resignations as well.
