In the present case, the governor issued directive to the chief minister setting a deadline, which the Congress says is infringement on the power of the Speaker and interference with the business of the assembly. The Speaker has the power to run the house in a manner to his satisfaction.
The Bommai judgment further stated that the court cannot decide or give direction on matters of resignation or disqualification of MLAs or MPs until the Speaker has decided the matter. The courts only have the power of judicial review of the decision taken by the Speaker.
Disqualification involves issuance of whip by the political party. In the present case, the Supreme Court extended protection to the rebel MLAs from the whip in its interim order. Some of the Congress leaders have cited the Bommai case saying the judgment restrains courts from delivering an interim order if the matter is still pending in the Karnataka Assembly.
