Uddhav Thackeray Moves SC Against Maha Speaker’s ‘Real Shiv Sena’ Verdict

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Monday approached the Supreme Court against the recent verdict by Maharashtra assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar, who held that the faction led by CM Eknath Shinde was the real Shiv Sena.
Thackeray has also contested the Speaker’s ruling that dismissed petitions seeking the disqualification of legislators who, back in June, left the Shiv Sena (which was undivided at the time) to join Mr. Shinde’s splinter group.
What did speaker say?
The main fulcrum around which the judgment of the Maharashtra legislative assembly speaker revolves is that the Constitution of the Shiv Sena is provided by the Election Commission of India and not the original one of the party. Based on this, Narwekar held that Uddhav Thackeray did not have the authority to remove Eknath Shinde from the party.
The Speaker said the Shinde faction had an overwhelming majority of 37 of 55 MLAs when rival factions emerged and that Shinde was validly appointed as the leader of the legislature party. Both factions had filed 34 cross-petitions against each other seeking the disqualification of 54 MLAs, with the Shinde faction claiming 67 per cent of the Shiv Sena MLAs in the assembly and 75 per cent of the party’s MPs in the Lok Sabha. However, Narwekar refused to disqualify any MLA from both the factions.
Shiv Sena’s reaction
A livid Sena (UBT) had asserted that the decision was biased and, by late evening, it had announced that they would challenge the decision in the Supreme Court.
“The assembly speaker was given specific directions by the Supreme Court. He has not followed those directions. He has not disqualified any MLAs. The case was about disqualification of MLAs. If you are not considering our constitution, then why have you not disqualified us?” Thackeray had asked Narwekar.
“He had no right to decide it,” Thackeray said on speaker not considering the 2018 constitution of the party.
Thackeray also said that the SC had accepted the whip and group leader of his party faction in its verdict. However, speaker Narwekar gave an opposite decision.

Mumbai: Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has also withdrawn the proposal to ensure peace and order on Eid-ul-Adha in Mumbai and to keep the cattle market closed. Earlier, a proposal was made to keep the cattle market closed during Eid-ul-Adha, which was opposed by Muslims, and after that, this decision has also been withdrawn. Before Eid-ul-Adha in Mumbai, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has issued necessary orders for Eid-ul-Adha in a peaceful atmosphere. In a meeting of Muslim representatives, the Chief Minister accepted all the demands of Muslims and assured them of taking necessary steps during the sacrifice, from providing facilities at the goat market in Deonar to providing necessary facilities. Abu Asim Azmi said that BJP leaders Kirit Somaiya and Nitish Rane are trying to spoil the atmosphere.
They are announcing that there will be no sacrifice to put pressure on the society, but this demand was also made to the Chief Minister that there should be no obstruction in the process of sacrifice in those societies where sacrifice is done. Muslim representatives also demanded to keep an eye on the mischief of miscreants during the sacrifice and take necessary action against anti-social elements. The Chief Minister assured that like every year, the sacrifice process will end peacefully this year too. He has accepted all the demands of the Muslims and given special consideration to every issue. Abu Asim Azmi said that there is a need to curb the mischief of miscreants during the sacrifice so that the situation remains peaceful. Instructions have also been given that animal traders in Deonar do not face any kind of problem. At the same time, the distress of the traders due to the animals’ carts not being emptied for 36 hours was also discussed. The Chief Minister has also banned the collection of additional fees.
In an important meeting, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis assured that like every year, facilities will be provided on Eid-ul-Adha this time too, and peace and order will be maintained. The proposal to close the animal market was withdrawn and the fee for sacrificial animals was reduced from Rs 200 to Rs 20. The Chief Minister also issued an order to take action against those involved in corruption. Those spreading hatred are trying to spoil the atmosphere on Eid by creating Hindu-Muslim differences. Azmi has also demanded a ban on the language of these sectarians. The Chief Minister has directed to pay special attention to maintaining order during the sacrifice.
Abu Asim Azmi told the Chief Minister that an additional fee was collected for emptying the animal cart, Rs. 500 instead of Rs. 200, Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 5,000 was collected for parking, the fee of the goat of the trader who is not sold during Eid-ul-Adha should be refunded, earlier the fee of the goat for deonar was Rs. 20, it should be increased to Rs. 200, five gates and five push gates should be set up for unloading the goat in deonar, along with this, there is a rush of buyers during the sacrifice, three windows should be started for the convenience of the customers, the Chief Minister approved all these demands and issued necessary orders.
