The Supreme Court on Friday said that it will schedule a hearing for the petition filed by the Uddhav Thackeray faction on March 7.
As reported by sources, this petition challenges the decision of Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar, who declared Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena bloc as the “true political party” following the party’s division in June 2022.
Moreover, the Thackeray faction’s plea was set to be heard on March 1 before a bench led by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud.
Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, representing the Thackeray faction, brought up the plea, noting that it was not included in the list of scheduled matters. He requested the bench, which included Justice J B Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Misra, to schedule it for March 7.
