Rohatgi told the bench that all these MLAs have been disqualified and their case should be selected for hearing on 19th of this month. The Speaker had disqualified 17 rebel MLAs before voting on the trust motion of the then CM HD Kumaraswamy on July 29. Kumaraswamy had resigned from his post after he failed to test power in the House and the BJP government led by BS Yeddyurappa was formed in the state.
