The tussle between the Shiv Sena leadership and rebels MLAs, which threatens to bring down the Maharashtra government, moved from the hotel to the courtroom today. Acting on Eknath Shinde's petition challenging the disqualification notices issued to him and 15 other rebel MLAs last week, the Supreme Court issued notices to Deputy Speaker Narhari Zirwal, Chief Whip Sunil Prabhu, leader of Legislature party Anil Chaudhary and the Centre. The top court will now hear the matter on July 11.
Eknath Shinde, who leads the rebellion, had challenged the Uddhav Thackeray leadership's move to disqualify him and 15 other MLAs in the Supreme Court.
The Shinde camp also challenged the rejection of a no-confidence motion against Deputy Speaker Narahari Zirwal.
34 rebel MLAs had signed the no-confidence motion against Deputy Speaker Narhari Zirwal.
