HC notice to 11 candidates including BJP MLA SV Ramachandra
Bengaluru, July 25: The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday issued notice to Jagalur MLA SV Ramachandra against winning the Assembly election by producing fake caste certificate. The HC also issued notices to remaining 11 candidates contested in the last Assembly election.
Hearing an application filed by the defeated candidate HV Rajesh from Congress, the High Court issued notices to BJP MLA SV Ramachandra and 11 other candidates. The advocate, who argued in favour of the applicant, said that the Jagalur Assembly constituency was reserved for ST category. But MLA Ramachandra belonged to Maratha community which comes under backward classes. He appealed the High Court to disqualify him from the post of MLA following this issue. He also appealed the court to announce the second highest votes taker as the winner in the election. Hearing the argument, the Court postponed the further hearing to August 20.

Eknath Shinde resigns, asked to act as caretaker chief minister
Mumbai (PTI): Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Tuesday morning met Governor C P Radhakrishnan and tendered his resignation following the results of the assembly elections.
The governor asked Shinde to act as a caretaker chief minister till a new CM is sworn in.
Shinde visited the Raj Bhavan along with deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar.
The term of the Maharashtra assembly ends on November 26.
Despite the Mahayuti alliance of the BJP, Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar's NCP securing a massive victory, winning 230 seats in the 288-member assembly, consensus has eluded the ruling combine’s leaders so far on who should be the next CM.
