New Delhi, May 19: Karnataka poll results have left everyone biting their nails to know which party will come in power. Congress and BJP both have staked claims to form government. And after the governor supporting BJP, the Congress has moved SC to hear the matter.

With Justice Sikri sharing a WhatsApp joke in courtroom during high tense hearing of Karnataka crisis the courtroom was filled with laughter. Sikhri shared a joke that--the owner of resort where Congress-JD(S) legislators were staying has also staked claim to form government saying he had 117 MLAs.

"On a lighter vein, I must say that I saw a message circulated on the social media in which a resort owner wrote a letter to the Governor for the formation of government saying he has the support of 117 MLAs," Justice A K Sikri said.

Those present in the jam-packed courtroom number six burst into laughter when the judge shared his moment of coming across this funny stuff on the Whatsapp.

Justice Sikri was apparently referring to Congress-JD(S) MLAs staying at the Eagleton Resort in Bengaluru.
