In round three of the Legislature Vs media debate, the two editors, whose arrest had been ordered by the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, have appealed to Assembly Speaker K B Koliwad to review the order.

The editors, who have evaded arrested over the last ten days, appeared before the Speaker to file their petition on Monday. This came after the government gave an undertaking to the High Court last week that they would not be arrested if they personally appeared and filed their review petitions.
