Three rebel Congress legislators, Ramesh Jarkiholi, Mahesh Kumthalli and R Shankar, were disqualified on July 25 for defying their party whip issued to attend the Assembly and vote in favour of the motion former chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy moved on July 18 but lost on July 23 by 6 votes.

The MLAs are Pratap Gouda Patil (Maski), B C Patil (Hirekerur), Shivaram Hebbar (Yellapur), S T Someshekhar (Yeshwantpur), Byrati Basavraj (K R Puram) Anand Singh (Vijayanagar - Bellary), R Roshan Baig (Shivajinagar), Muniratna (R R Nagar), Sudhakar (Chikkaballapur), MTB Nagraj (Hoskote) and Shrimant Patil (Kagawad) from the Congress, and A H Vishwanath (Hunsur), Narayan Gowda (K R Pete) and K Gopalaiah (Mahalakshmi Layout).

Talk about self Goals.
He in the need to please his political bosses didnt realise that , Yeddy govt is more safe now, due to his actions.
Next six months-no trust vote can be done.
After that, if governor rule- still better.
These 14 MLAs will ensure that Ramesh kumars political career is over.

In my opinion, keeping the party politics aside, the Supreme Court of India will approve Speaker's decision. It has been a copy of Tamil Nadu state model.

As the elected MLA's failed to observe their party whip, the closely lost candidates in each of these constituencies should have (still could) file an affidavit with the Indian Election Commission and the Speaker of the House to declare them as winners. EC and the Speaker of the House would have granted their plea, Supreme Court would have upheld EC decision. BJP would have obtained absolute majority in the house.

Disqualification is not enough. These legislators should go to jail for betraying the voters and the party that gave them the ticket to run. Voters took off from work, waited in line for hours to cast their votes. If we knew that they were defecting to another party, many voters would not have elected them at all.

Supreme court also disualify or banned all MP or mla , who are running horse trading.

Now track their properties n bank accounts and if required please confiscate them with immediate effect.

MLAs resigned on July 6th.

When SC told them to meet Speaker personally and resign, they did so again on July 11th.

SC told them they need not attend Trust vote as they have resigned.

SC said Speaker just had to accept the resignations within a reasonable time.

Now the Speaker who said he doesn't work on holidays has disqualified them on a Sunday.

22 days after they resigned. No mention of their resignation.

SC will declare Speaker verdict as arbitrary and illegal.

I am saddened and ashamed the way our politicians in Karnataka have turned out to be. They all have stooped to levels that is worse than a drainage pit. They have no right to hold the public to ransom. They are public servants and we have sent them to represent us and get the job done. Irrespective of any party, these guys should be thrown out of politics forever, if they indulge in such cheap acts. Noone should be allowed to resign or change parties until they have finished their terms. Instead they should seek people's permission to decide on such matters.

Under the 10th Schedule of the Constitution, a legislator is considered a defector if he/she gives up the membership of the party on whose election symbol he/she has been elected to the House or disregards the whip issued by the legislature party. In such a case, he/she can stand to be disqualified from the membership of the assembly or Parliament.
The rebel Congress and JD(S) MLAs were innovative. They did not resign from their respective legislature parties but chose to give up membership of the assembly in a bid to escape disqualification. They now have the option of contesting the by-election, which will have to be held within six months on the symbol of a different political party from the same constituency, and return to the House if they win.
SC Order In Karnataka MLAs Case Goes Against The Spirit Of Anti-Defection Laws.

As per clause 2(b) of schedule 10 of the constitution, abstaining from voting in House contrary to any direction issued by the political party to which the legislator belongs to will cause disqualification on the ground of defection.

Acceptance of resignation a matter of speakers discretion.

This is clear from the proviso to Article 190 3(b) of the constitution, which says that the Speaker shall not accept resignation if he is satisfied that it was not voluntary or genuine.
Karnataka BJP wanted to follow the 'Manipur Model' of defection. In Manipur, HC has come down heavily on the assembly speaker of the north-eastern state, under the BJP’s rule, for not disqualifying a Congress MLA for the last two-and-a-half years.
In the 60-member assembly the BJP, with 21 seats, stitched up an alliance three regional parties thus taking its tally to 30 seats. This was still one short of the majority mark. So lone Congres member for the Ministry defected to the BJP thus helped the party form a coalition government. Later another 6 joined & sat with the opposition just to avoid the anti-defection law.

The speaker appears to be honest in his role. But only Law will decide whether he is right or not, whether it is too late to disqualify MLAs, why there is that much compulsion on MLAs to appear in assembly (when they had already resigned), why speaker took that long time to decide in their resignations.
Need to wait for court ruling.

The legislature are required to be in assembly when session is going to represent the problem of constituency. But these MLA problem are in personal nature and spending time in other states and black mailing party they elected. They misuse constitutional duty and obligation. They are neither faithful to the people f the state or their party. The defection Act need to be amended or there may be some provision under election commissioner to debar these people and like minded people from any party. The cost of election and bye election recovered from these people and pension and all benefits to be stopped
