New Delhi: The Shiv Sena moved the Supreme Court again on Friday, seeking to bar the rebel MLAs led by Eknath Shinde from the Maharashtra assembly. This comes a day after Eknath Shinde was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, with BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis taking oath as his deputy.
A vacation bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and J B Pardiwala was urged by senior advocate Kapil Sibal that the plea needed urgent hearing due to the pendency of disqualification proceedings against 16 lawmakers including the Chief Minister.
