Published by Webster

New Delhi: Maharashtra Speaker Rahul Narwekar today explained his decision not to disqualify the members of the Uddhav Thackeray camp — a question the Shiv Sena UBT chief had pointedly asked. While the naming of Bharat Gogawale as whip “proper”, it is not certain that the whip to attend the party meeting was “adequately and properly served” to Thackeray faction MLAs, he said. “It appears that this service is not complete.

In an affidavit filed in the Supreme Court, the Sena (UBT) group said it was “improper” of Mr Narwekar to meet Mr Shinde three days before his verdict on the disqualification petitions. “How can the ‘judge’ in any case meet one of the parties (in private) before giving the judgement?” the Uddhav Thackeray camp asked the court, adding, “It is highly inappropriate…” “Under the Tenth Schedule, the Speaker, as adjudicating authority must act in a fair and …
