Supreme Court to hear pleas on suspending Eknath Shinde and 15 MLAs on July 11
The Apex Court will consider the pleas regarding the suspension of Eknath Shinde and 15 MLAs on July 11.

The Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) on Friday moved the Supreme Court to suspend the newly-sworn Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and other rebel Shiv Sena MLAs against whom disqualification applications have been filed. Sunil Prabhu, the Shiv Sena Chief Whip, has filed a suspension application against Shinde and his 15 fellow rebel MLAs. The Apex Court said it will consider the plea on July 11.
The vacation bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and JB Pardiwala heard the application of Sunil Prabhu. Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal mentioned it for urgent listing at which the bench said it will consider the application on July 11. The bench granted time to Shinde and the rebel group to respond to the respective applications, till July 12. Earlier, the Supreme Court had refused to stay the floor test following which Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray resigned from the CM’s post.
Sibal said that after the order of June 29, Eknath Shinde became the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. Sibal further said that there was no merger and whose whip will be followed.
Through the disqualification applications, the applicant contended that Shinde has acted against the provisions of the anti-defection law and the establishment of the newly formed Government is invalid since its very inception. Hence, they sought prohibition on all the political activities of Eknath Shinde till disqualification applications are clarified and a final decision made.
The political turmoil in Maharashtra has been on since June 21 with rebel MLAs moving first to Surat in Gujarat and then to Guwahati in Assam. Soon after Thackeray’s resignation, BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis announced that Shinde will be the new Chief Minister. However, the BJP national leadership impressed upon Fadnavis to take over as Deputy Chief Minister with Shinde.
