The Supreme Court addressed the disqualification of five independent Members of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly under paragraph 2(2) of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution. The Court held that the Speaker's decision to disqualify the Members was made without proper notice and opportunity to respond, violating principles of natural justice. Consequently, the Court quashed the disqualification orders, allowing the Members to participate in the Assembly proceedings.
