The Supreme Court has also ruled that the rebel MLAs can themselves take a call on whether they wished to attend the trust vote that it has been scheduled to take place on Thursday, July 18.

On Friday, the court had ordered the speaker to maintain the status quo with regard to the resignation and disqualification of 10 rebel MLAs.

Chief Minister Kumaraswamy has expressed confidence in the majority of his government and said that the situation has forced him to take this action.

In a relief to the rebel Congress-JDS MLAs, the Supreme Court said speaker should not decide on disqualification or resignation of MLAs till that date as constitutional issues needed to be addressed first.

Senior Advocate and spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Ashwini Upadhyay, has been waging a battle in the Courts for the implementation of a Uniform Civil Code.

The Court has also said that if the matter is not resolved by mediation then the case would be heard from July 25 onwards on a day to day basis.

On March 8, a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court had referred the long-standing Ram Mandir-Babri Masjid dispute for mediation. The mediation panel is chaired by former Supreme Court judge Justice FMI Kalifulla, along with spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and senior Advocate Sriram Panchu.
