Posted on:
Key Points

The Supreme Court ruling asking the Maharashtra Speaker to decide on the disqualification of MLAs based on the whip issued by the political party, Shiv Sena, and not its legislative wing may see more court cases...

The Thackeray group considers this part of the ruling a huge win for the faction as it believes that the political wing of the party remains loyal to it, even though the majority of legislators are with chief minister Eknath Shinde...

The SC has very clearly said that while deciding on the issue of disqualification, the Speaker should decide on the basis of the whip issued by the political party..

So, we believe that the government will fall in 15 days," he said.. CM Eknath Shinde and his deputy Devendra Fadnavis, however, claimed that the ruling that only the political party was empowered to issue a whip did not go against the Shinde group..

Let the Speaker decide," Fadnavis said.. Speaker Rahul Narwekar, on a trip abroad, said he would try to give a decision as soon as possible..
