The Hindu
Maharashtra Legislative Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar on July 8, 2023, said notices have been issued to 40 MLAs of Shinde-led Shiv Sena and 14 of the Uddhav faction, seeking their replies on disqualification petitions against them.
Maharashtra Legislative Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar on Saturday, July 8, 2023, said notices have been issued to 40 MLAs of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and 14 of the Uddhav Thackeray faction, seeking their replies on disqualification petitions against them.
These legislators have been given seven days to file their reply, he said.
The notices have been issued against a total of 54 MLAs, including Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray. But notice was not issued against Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Rutuja Latke who was elected after the Shiv Sena split last year.
The development comes a day after Narwekar said that he has received a copy of the Shiv Sena's constitution from the Election Commission of India, and that hearing on the disqualification petitions against 16 Shiv Sena MLAs, including CM Shinde would start soon.
"Notice seeking replies on disqualification issued to 40 MLA of Eknath Shinde-Shiv Sena faction, 14 of Uddhav Thackeray faction," Mr. Narwekar told PTI.
Shiv Sena MLA and spokesperson Sanjay Shirsat said he has not received any notice so far from the State legislature. He said the Shiv Sena led by Shinde had also filed disqualification petitions against 14 MLAs of the Uddhav camp including Aaditya Thackeray.
Earlier this week, the Shiv Sena (UBT) approached the Supreme Court seeking a direction to the Assembly Speaker to hear the disqualification petitions expeditiously.
