The delegation said as per the order of the Supreme Court, Speaker Rahul Narvekar has to adjudicate the process of disqualification of MLAs within a reasonable timeframe.
With Deputy Speaker Narhari Sitaram Zirwal presiding over the election proceeding, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Rahul Narwekar was elected the new Speaker of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly on Sunday.
The plea will be heard at 5 pm on Thursday by a vacation bench of justices Surya Kant and JB Pardiwala. The bench remarked, “We will keep at 5pm. Please make sure that paper books are supplied by 3pm to parties concerned.”
This hearing will be interesting because the Speaker's election in the Maharashtra assembly – which the BJP now wants – is delayed only thanks to a petition pending in the Supreme Court itself.
