In case titled Pratap Gouda Patil v. State of Karnataka
(2019) 7 SCC 463, Hon'ble Apex Court refused to fix a timeframe or
issue directions to the Speaker. In the aforesaid case, it was held that
whether resignations submitted by Members of the Legislative
Assembly at a point of time earlier than petitions for their
disqualification under the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution should
have priority in the decision-making process or whether both sets of
proceedings should be taken up simultaneously or the disqualification
proceedings should have precedence over the requests for resignation.
