After Karnataka Governor invited Yeddyurappa to form the new government in the state, the Congress approached the Chief Justice with plea challenging the Governor's decision.

Congress leader Abhishek Singhvi led his party's challenge.

The Congress said the Governor denigrated his office, trampled the Constitution and acted as a BJP puppet.
