SC notice to Maharashtra Speaker on Thaackeray camp plea of deliberate delay in disqualification proceedings against CM Shinde, others

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court on Friday issued notice to Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar in a petition filed by Uddhav Thackeray loyalists accusing him of deliberately delaying the disqualification proceedings pending against Chief Minister Eknath Shinde for defection. “It is imperative for this court to direct the Speaker to decide the disqualification petitions filed by the petitioner against delinquent members of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly expeditiously and within a time-bound manner, or, alternatively, to decide the disqualification petitions itself,” the 406-page petition by Mr. Prabhu urged. The petition said Mr. Narwekar’s inaction amounted to bias as it effectively permits Mr. Shinde’s illegal continuance in office when disqualification proceedings for defection are hanging over him. Noting that the Speaker’s office under the Tenth Schedule was that of a judicial tribunal, the petition said Mr. Narwekar’s inertia was “an act of grave constitutional impropriety”.
