Karnataka HC hears a batch of pleas challenging induction of 3 members of State Legislative Council to Cabinet of Ministers.

Adv Prashant Bhushan, appearing for one of the petitioners submits that notice was issued earlier and several dates were secured by the State.
Govt is trying to delay this because as per the info we have, the three persons are going to be appointed as Ministers in three days, Bhushan.
The 6th Resp has no case whatsoever to be appointed as a Minister.

Resp 5 did not contest and Resp 7 contested and lost, Bhushan.

@pbhushan1
The Respondents should either argue the matter or suffer the restraint, says Bhushan.

@pbhushan1
Advocate General Prabhuling Navadgi seeks for more time to file Statement of Objections.

Court grants time till November 19. No further time will be granted, adds the Bench.
Court: Petitioner expresses an apprehension that 5th - 7th Respondents maybe appointed as Ministers soon. However, we cannot pass a restraint order without hearing the parties.

As WP is pending, it is obvious that all steps taken during the pendency of the petition will be subject to further orders passed by this Court, concluded the Bench.
