Dec 31 Deadline For Maharashtra Speaker To Decide On Disqualifications

Earlier this month, the court had pulled up Narwekar for delaying the adjudication of the disqualification petitions. The court said it would fix a timeline if the speaker fails to submit a revised schedule expediting the process.

“We are concerned about maintaining the dignity of this court. Our orders must be complied with,” the bench said on October 13.

On October 18, the court again asked the Maharashtra assembly speaker to submit a realistic time frame for the hearing of Shiv Sena MLA disqualification petitions.
