New Delhi: The Supreme Court is all set to hear the petition filed against the floor test of the Uddhav government in Maharashtra. The hearing will take place at 5 pm. The court has asked senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who filed the petition on behalf of shiv sena, to provide his copy of his petition to all parties, including the court, by 3 pm.
After 39 Shiv Sena MLAs led by Eknath Shinde withdrew from the government, it is believed that the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government is in a minority. Now Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has asked Uddhav Thackeray to prove his majority in the Assembly tomorrow i.e. on Thursday, June 30. Shiv Sena chief whip Sunil Prabhu has approached the Supreme Court against it.
Meanwhile, Eknath Shinde’s lawyer Neeraj Kishan Kaul opposed it, saying it was the governor’s prerogative to ask the government for a floor test. Singhvi is misleading the court by raising the issue of disqualification of mlAs. You don’t have to hear the matter today. The copy of the petition has also not yet been received by either side. In such a situation, the court should hear tomorrow.
