Maharashtra Assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar has scheduled the hearing for the disqualification case of Shiv Sena MLAs between the first week of October and the last week of November. The submissions will start on October 6, the day Narwekar ends his official tour of Ghana, where he is participating in the Commonwealth Parliamentary Convention.

The final argument has been scheduled after cross-examination by both sides, which begins on November 23. The cross-examination will take place twice a week. The date of the final argument will be two weeks after the cross-examination is over (most probably in December). The entire schedule is subject to change in case of holidays and requests from the parties for adjournment.
