Speaking in the Assembly, Shinde defended his revolt against the Shiv Sena leadership in June, which brought down the two-and-a-half-year-old Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, and asserted his act was neither unconstitutional nor illegal.
A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana ordered the listing of petitions before the constitution bench on Thursday and directed the Election Commission not to pass any orders on Shinde faction s plea that it be considered the real Shiv Sena and granted the party s poll symbol.
The Election Commission has been asked to not recognise either of the Eknath Shinde and Uddhav Thackeray factions as the real Shiv Sena till the case is heard.
