"Will Be No Delay": Speaker To NDTV After Court Rap On Sena vs Sena Case
NDTV
This week the Supreme Court criticised the Maharashtra Speaker for delaying ruling on disqualification petitions of MLAs who had quit the then-unbroken Shiv Sena led by ex-Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
Maharashtra Speaker Rahul Narwekar has told NDTV there will be "no delay" in ruling on petitions seeking disqualification of 56 lawmakers in the fight between the Uddhav Thackeray and Eknath Shinde factions of the Shiv Sena. His comments come three days after the Supreme Court rapped him for failing to follow its May 11 order - that he rule on the petitions within a "reasonable time".
The court had given Mr Narwekar one week to begin hearing the petitions.
"There will be no delay in hearing MLA disqualification petitions. The legal process (to decide these petitions) will take place as per rules. It is not possible to say how much time it will take to disqualify the MLAs. But whatever will be done will as per rules," he told NDTV today.
