- The Karnataka High Court has held that Vishwanath stands disqualified under the anti-defection law and hence cannot be inducted into the state cabinet.
- Vishwanath has incurred disqualification under Article 164 (1B) and Article 361 (B) of the Indian Constitution.
- Vishwanath had been appointed as the Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) despite the fact that Vishwanath had lost the bye-poll held for the State Legislative Assembly.
- Already he was disqualified as per the Supreme Court judgement in 2019.
- It was argued that a disqualified member can become eligible to hold the position of a minister only if they win the bye-elections from the same constituency.
