#SupremeCourt will shortly hear the plea filed by #ShivSena Chief Whip challenging the communication issued by #Maharashtra governor calling for a floor test on June 30.
Singhvi for #SunilPrabhu: I have 7 or 8 points. Preliminary point generally the letter which tells us about the floor test says that June 28, #Devendra_Fadnavis met the governor and today at in the morning, we received this intimation. As a matter of fact, 2 NCP MLAs have #COVID
BREAKING: Details of writ petition moved by #ShivSena Chief Whip Sunil Prabhu. The plea challenges the communication of the Governor of #Maharashtra noting that it has been issued with “undue haste”resulting in manifest arbitrariness .
The plea contends that the Governor has illegally invoked Article 175(2) of the Constitution to send a message to the Assembly for conduct of a floor test, which is beyond his Constitutional authority. #MaharashtraPolitcalCrisis#FloorTest#EknathSinde
The plea claims that #BJP did not take it well that the Shivsena formed the government with NCP and Congress, breaking away its alliance with the BJP. #MaharashtraPolitcalCrisis#UddhavThackeray
Replug 🔌 — Supreme Court’s take on “Floor Test” ordered by Governor in Shivraj Singh Chouhan & Ors Vs. Speaker, MP assembly is relevant in light of #MaharashtraPoliticalTurmoil. Top Court’s take in 2020 was that it was well within powers of a Governor to call for a Floor Test.
Replug: Supreme Court had held that where the Governor has reasons to believe that Council of Ministers headed by Chief Minister has “lost the confidence of the house”, constitutional propriety requires that “the issue be resolved by calling for a floor test” [(2020) 17 SCC 1] —
Replug: It was the Supreme Court’s view at that Where MLA’s of ruling party resigned in an expression of “lack of faith” in existing government, convening a floor test is the surest method of assessing the impact of the resignations on collective will of House [(2020) 17 SCC 1]
Dr.AM Singhvi, mentions the matter, says the floor test is illegal. He says the notice for the floor test has come just now. Furthermore asks for a hearing at 5PM or 6PM to ensure that the plea filed is complete. #MaharashtraPolitcalCrisis
