Maharashtra crisis: Rebel Shiv Sena MLA Eknath Shinde moves SC against disqualification notice

Maharashtra Shiv Sena MLA and minister Eknath Shinde Sunday moved the Supreme Court against the disqualification notice issued by the deputy speaker against 16 rebel legislators.

A vacation bench of Justices Surya Kant and J B Pardiwala is likely to hear Shinde’s plea on Monday. The rebel MLAs have raised a banner of revolt against the MVA government in the state, threatening to bring it down.
