Solicitor General Tushar Mehta is making submissions on behalf of the Governor today.

Senior Advocate Dr. AM Singhvi had concluded his submissions on behalf of the Chief Minister earlier this week, while reserving his right to make rejoinder submissions once the respondents have concluded their arguments. Senior Advocate Prof. Ravivarma Kumar is also appearing for Siddaramaiah.
