SC to hear on maintainability of UBT plea against Speaker’s ruling in Shiv Sena dispute

Shiv Sena UBT Eknath Shinde Sunil Prabhu Kapil Sibal Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray DY Chandrachud Harish Salve India

The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear on an early date the question of maintainability of an appeal filed by Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT) against the Maharashtra Assembly Speaker’s decision to dismiss disqualification petitions against Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and supporting MLAs, while holding them as the “real” Shiv Sena, on January 22.

Appearing before a three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud, senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sunil Prabhu, submitted that the petition needed to be heard urgently.

Senior advocate Harish Salve, appearing for one of the respondents, said an identical petition was filed by the Shiv Sena (UBT) camp in the Bombay High Court. It was still pending. Mr. Salve questioned how the same appellant could agitate an identical cause in two different courts at the same time.
