In a recent development, the Supreme Court has granted an extension until 10 January to Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar to deliver a verdict on the disqualification petitions against several Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs), including Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
The apex court's decision underscores the significance of resolving the pleas seeking the disqualification of key figures within Shinde's camp, including the chief minister himself.
Earlier, the Supreme Court had set a deadline of 31 December for the Maharashtra Assembly Speaker to make a final decision on the pending disqualification petitions.
However, Speaker Narwekar requested additional time to thoroughly review and consider the complexities of the petitions.
The extension granted by the Supreme Court emphasises the importance of a fair and thorough examination of the disqualification pleas, ensuring that the legal process is meticulous and comprehensive.
The disqualification petitions hold significance in the political landscape of Maharashtra, involving key figures within the ruling party.
As the new deadline approaches, all eyes are on Speaker Rahul Narwekar's final decision, which will play a pivotal role in determining the political standing of the MLAs in question, including Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
