The Supreme Court on Monday maintained status quo on the legislative developments that have taken place before and after the Shiv Sena breakaway faction and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government came to power in Maharashtra last month.
The SC has been hearing the matter of disqualification of MLAs from the Shinde group as well as the Uddhav Thackeray faction. The Sena has also challenged the government formation and floor test that it won hands down. The SC on Monday asked newly-elected Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar not to proceed with the plea seeking the disqualification of the Thackeray-led faction’s MLAs.
