New Delhi 19 May ,2018(Agencies)
The Supreme Court has ordered a floor test in Karnataka Assembly at 4 PM on Saturday. A three-judge bench headed by Justice AK Sikri passed the order after hearing a Congress-JDS combine petition against the decision of Governor Vajubhai Vala to invite BS Yeddyurappa of BJP to form the government.

In the May 12th polls, BJP emerged as the single largest party with 104 members, while Congress secured 78, the JDS 37 and others three.

Hardly 24 hours after a daybreak hearing that saw the Supreme Court allow BJP leader B.S. Yeddyurappa to be sworn in as Karnataka Chief Minister, the court on Friday ordered a floor test to be held at 4 p.m. on Saturday to decide whether he commands majority in the House. The three-judge bench headed by Justice A.K. Sikri, said: "Let the house decide and the best course would be floor test"

In its order, the apex court enumerated the steps that have to be followed for holding the floor test.
