Maharashtra assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar has assured that he will handle the disqualification pleas against Shiv Sena MLAs with neither unnecessary delay nor undue haste to ensure that justice prevails. Narwekar's statement comes in response to the Supreme Court's directive, which asked him to establish a timeline within a week for the resolution of the disqualification petitions filed against Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and the Shiv Sena MLAs supporting him.

Narwekar, in a press interaction on Monday evening, expressed his commitment to a fair and timely decision. He stated, "I am not aware of it (SC comments). I am not interested in delaying this matter nor am I going to hurry which will result in a miscarriage of justice."
