Shiv Sena (UBT) Moves Supreme Court Against Speaker's Recognition Of MPs' Merger With Shinde Camp
Mumbai (Correspondent) -The Uddhav Thackeray - led Shiv Sena (UBT) has approached the Supreme Court against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla's decision to recognise the merger of six of its MPs with the rival faction led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Earlier the loksabha spekar had recognised the merger of six Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs — Sanjay Jadhav, Sanjay Patil, Sanjay Deshmukh, Omraje Nimbalkar, Nagesh Patil Ashtikar and Bhausaheb Wakchaure — with the Shinde faction on 18 July.
According to The Indian Express, the plea was filed by party leader Arvind Ganpat Sawant, with senior advocate Devadatt Kamat mentioning the matter before a three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, seeking an urgent hearing. Six of these MPs decide unilaterally, without the merger of the original political party, and say we have merged with the rival. We contested against that political party," Kamat submitted, according to the report.
When the CJI questioned the urgency, Kamat told the bench, "The urgency is that my functioning as a political party in Parliament has come to an absolute standstill," adding that the MPs were no longer aligned with the party since the Speaker had recognised their merger with another outfit. The CJI, the report said, did not commit to listing the matter this week, saying only, "Will see."
