The Shiv Sena faction led by the Uddhav Thackeray on Monday moved the Supreme Court against Maharashtra speaker Rahul Narwekar dismissing disqualification petitions against Eknath Shinde and 38 MLAs.

Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar pronounced his verdict on January 10 in favour of the Eknath Shinde faction of Shiv Sena on Wednesday.

Narwekar said that he relied on the Supreme Court's judgment in the Subhash Desai case, and the jurisdiction of the Speaker in deciding defection petitions as provided by the 10th Schedule of the Indian Constitution, which deals with the anti-defection law.
