Before they moved the Supreme Court, Uttarakhand High Court had dismissed the plea of the nine rebel Congress MLAs, involved in the sting operation against Rawat.

Justice UC Dhyani pronounced his order on the petition challenging Speaker Govind Singh Kunjwal’s decision, disqualifying them after they joined hands with the BJP during proceedings on the Appropriation Bill on 18 March. Following this, Speaker Kunjwal filed a caveat in Supreme Court, adding that if the order is challenged in Supreme Court, it must be heard.
