Attorney General K K Venugopal and ASG Maninder Singh were also in court on behalf of the Centre.<\/p>\n<p>Hours after the Congress-JD(S) appraoched the CJI for an urgent hearing, the Supreme Court decided to hear the late night petition filed by the Congress and the JD(S) challenging Governor Vala&#8217;s decision to invite the BJP to form the government in the southern state.<\/p>\n<p>The joint petition by the KPCC president G Parameshwara and H D Kumaraswamy sought a stay on the oath-taking ceremony, as communicated by the governor to the BJP&#8217;s chief ministerial candidate B S Yeddyurappa.<\/p>\n<p>In its midnight legal push, the Congress and JD (S) approached the Supreme Court seeking an immediate intervention by the chief justice to stay the move, which it termed as an &#8220;encounter of the Constitution&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The Congress urged Chief Justice Misra to hold an urgent hearing tonight itself since Yeddyurappa is slated to take oath as chief minister at 9 am tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Singhvi said the party sought hearing on its petition challenging the governor&#8217;s decision tonight itself.<\/p>\n<p>The Congress termed the governor&#8217;s decision as &#8220;murder of democracy and trampling of Constitution&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the evening, Vala invited Yeddyurappa to form the government and take oath as chief minister tomorrow. He also asked Yeddyurappa to seek a vote of confidence within 15 days of assuming office.<\/p>\n<p>Singhvi, who has been assigned the task to lead Congress&#8217; legal challenge against Vala&#8217;s decision, had met the Supreme Court registrar to take forward the process to hear the &#8220;urgent petition&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The Congress has termed the move to form a BJP government in Karnataka as &#8220;illegal and against the law and Constitution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The petition prepared by advocate Dev Dutt Kamath contended that despite presenting the list of 116 MLAs, governor Vala has invited the BJP which has 104 MLAs to form the government and has given relatively longer time of 15 days to prove the majority on the floor of the House.<\/p>\n<p>Kamath and other advocates earlier met the registrar for putting the petition before CJI Misra for constituting the bench.<\/p>\n<p>The Congress has also said that granting 15 days&#8217; time to Yeddyurappa to prove majority on the floor of the House will promote horse trading, alleging that BJP will resort to poaching of MLAs of Congress and JD(S).<\/p>\n<p>The BJP has emerged as the single largest party in the southern state winning 104 seats, but is short of a simple majority.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the Congress and JD(S), which have already announced post-poll tie-up, have won 78 and 37 seats respectively and claimed before Vala to have numbers to form government in the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Karnataka power tussle turning into a midnight courtroom battle, the Supreme Court said the general trend of its past judgments was not to restrain the governor, as it heard a plea by the Congress-JD(S) combine against the governor&#8217;s decision to invite BJP&#8217;s B S Yeddyurappa to form the government.
