The next hearing by Maharashtra Legislative Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar on the disqualification petitions filed against each other by two rival factions of the Shiv Sena will be held on Thursday instead of Friday.
Confirming the development, Mr. Narwekar said that as he had to attend the G-20 Parliamentary Speakers’ Summit in Delhi on Friday, he had advanced the schedule of the hearing. “It will now be held on Thursday instead of Friday. I could have fixed a later date for the hearing, but I did not because I did not want to delay the hearing any further. I want to take a decision at the earliest over the matter,” the Speaker said.
