The Supreme Court has adjourned the hearing till Monday on the crisis arising out of the rights of Shiv Sena. The court said- On Monday, the court will give its decision on whether this matter should be handed over to the bench of 5 judges or not. The CJI told the counsel for the Election Commission – August 8 is the date for both parties to give affidavits to the Election Commission. If any party demands time, the Commission shall consider it.
Earlier in the hearing held on Thursday, the matter of dismissal of 16 Shiv Sena MLAs was first heard. Shinde Camp's lawyer Harish Salve first presented his side. Giving full details of the Speaker's powers and procedure, Salve said- As long as the MLA is in his post, he is entitled to participate in the activities of the House. Even if he votes against the party, the vote will be valid.
On this, CJI Ramana questioned- Does the party not have control over the MLA once he is elected? He is only accountable to the discipline of the legislature party of the party.
Here, the Uddhav faction's lawyer Sibal appealed to the CJI - don't send the matter to the Constitution Bench. We (Me and Singhvi) can conclude our argument in 2 hours. How can MLAs who are disqualified claim to be the real party in the Election Commission? On this the CJI said – no one can be stopped from doing this.
Election Commission's lawyer said - we are legally bound to take the decision
When Election Commission (EC) lawyer Arvind Datar asked his side, he told the court- If we have any claim of being the parent party, then we are legally bound to decide on it. Disqualification from the assembly is a separate issue. We make decisions based on the facts placed before us.
Shinde faction was reprimanded on Wednesday
A bench headed by CJI Ramana had reprimanded the Shinde faction's counsel for forming the government before the court's verdict. The bench had said that they clear their points and submit the draft again, then it will be considered for 10 to 15 minutes.
Regarding the 'real' Shiv Sena, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court had said on July 20 that the petitions filed about Shiv Sena can be referred to a larger bench.
The vigorous debate lasted for an hour
On Wednesday, there was a heated argument between the lawyers of both sides. The lawyer for the Shinde faction said that we have not left the party. We have raised our voices against the leader. We are still at the party. While Uddhav camp's lawyer Kapil Sibal spoke. He had said – the rebel MLAs should either merge with any party or form a new party.
However, the bench of CJI NV Ramana, Justice Krishna Murari, and Justice Hima Kohli also reprimanded Shinde for forming the government. He told the lawyer of Shinde's side- We had postponed the hearing for 10 days and you formed the government, changed the speaker.
