Bengaluru: Former State Advocate General (AG) B.V. Acharya has said that Karnataka Assembly Speaker Ramesh Kumar’s order disqualifying 17 rebel MLAs from the Congress and JD(S), as illegal.
Speaking to press persons here yesterday, Acharya said that the Supreme Court in its July 17 order had asked the Speaker to only look into the resignations submitted by the MLAs and not on their disqualification. But the Speaker seems to have ignored the SC directive while disqualifying the rebel Legislators, he said.
