Do Not Proceed WIth Disqualification Of Shiv Sena MLAs, Says SC To Maha Speaker

During a hearing, the Supreme Court (SC) asked the newly-elected Maharashtra Assembly speaker not to proceed with the plea seeking disqualification of MLAs. Notably, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena faction demanded disqualification of the rebel MLAs, who supported Eknath Shinde. However, the Top Court bench comprising Chief Justice NV Ramana and Justices Krishna Murari and Hima Kohli took note, directing to stop proceedings, until matter is pending with the SC.
