Breaking: Maharashtra Floor Test- Supreme Court To Pronounce Order At 9 PM Today-LIVE UPDATES

No stay of floor test tomorrow : Bench pronounces order.

Lawyers are waiting for the bench to assemble.

#BREAKING Supreme Court to pronounce orders at 9 PM today on the plea of Shiv Sena's Chief Whip to stay tomorrow's floor test in Maharashtra assembly ordered by the Governor.

Bench will pronounce the orders at 9 PM today.

Bench concludes hearing.

Justice Kant : Give us some time to deliberate.

Singhvi : May I ask who Mr.Kaul is appearing for? (Singhvi says Governor's Secy, Assembly Secy, State of Maharashtra and Union Govt are parties)

Kaul : You don't add necessary parties in the petition.

Singhvi concludes.

Kaul : May I take a second.

Singhvi : There is no sur-rejoinder.

Singhvi : Is it not a strange case that they have not challenged the Speaker's rejection of their resolution?

Singhvi : This is a question of balancing competing equities. Either defer the floor test for a week or prepone the other matter, that is the only way to balance.

Singhvi : If Nabam Rabia is applied literally, then 10th schedule is ended. Because a defector can always send a resolution to remove Speaker and get away. If it is applied like a Gita or Bible without considering the facts, then there is no 10th schedule.
