Full Update: Massive setback with Twist and Turn to Congress in latenight hearing at Supreme Court

By  | 

The petition challenging BJP leader BS Yeddyurappa’s swearing in as Karnataka Chief Minister will be heard in the Supreme Court after the Congress, which has called the governor’s decision an “encounter of the Constitution”, filed an urgent petition in the Supreme Court shortly before midnight.

At about 1 a.m, Chief Justice Dipak Misra asked a three-judge bench of Justices AK Sikri, A Bobde and Ashok Bhushan to hear the case. The hearing began at an hour later.

This is the second time that the Supreme Court is holding an overnight hearing. The first was in July 2015 when the top court held a 90-minute hearing in the middle of the night to hear a last-minute petition against the execution of Yakub Memon for his role in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case.
