The High Court of Karnataka in its order had mentioned that H. Vishwanath is a nominated member and cannot be made a minister, as he is not elected by the people.
H.Vishwanath had appealed before the Hon’ble Supreme Court questioning High Court orders. The SC has upheld the HC orders now and has quashed his application.
