New Delhi: In a serious setback to the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government, the Supreme Court on Monday protected rebel Sena MLAs from disqualification proceedings till July 12, directed the ruling coalition to ensure their safety in Maharashtra and importantly, refused the SenaNCP-Congress coalition's request to stop the Eknathrao S Shinde-led rebels from demanding a floor test in assembly.
Shinde tweeted on the SC order, "This is the victory of Balasaheb Thackeray and Anand Dighe's thoughts."
A string of senior advocates A M Singhvi, Rajeev Dhavan and Devadatt Kamatmade strenuous attempts on behalf of MVA and deputy speaker to persuade a vacation bench of Justices Surya Kant and JB Pardiwala not to interfere in disqualification proceedings against 15 of 39 rebel Sena MLAs supporting Shinde, saying it fell in the exclusive domain of the Speaker.
When the effort did not work, Kamat made a desperate attempt to stop the likely effort to bring out CM Thackeray's diminished support by requesting that status quo be maintained as of today and there should be no demand from the rebels for a floor test.
