New Delhi: Supreme Court on Tuesday added that it will “go through” the allegedly leaked audio of Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa wherein he is heard saying that 17 disqualified MLAs were kept in Mumbai under the watch of Union Home Minister and BJP President Amit Shah.

Senior Advocate, Kapil Sibal on Tuesday, appearing for Karnataka Congress appealed the bench led by Justic N V Ramana, to take on record the audio in the case.

You have brought it to our notice, that’s it. We will go through the application... Please allow us to deliver our judgment,” Justice N.V. Ramana, said following Sibal’s appeal.

“This brings to light the hospitality received by the MLAs at the instance of the Union Home Minister,” Sibal added.

The Bench, however, said Sibal had already addressed them on these aspects. “We will take it (application) on record, however,” the Bench said.

The lawyers for the disqualified MLA objected to the application, saying it was merely a ploy to delay the judgment of the court on the legality of the then Assembly Speaker K.R. Ramesh Kumar’s disqualification of the 17 MLAs under the anti-defection law.
