The Supreme Court seeks responses from Deputy CM Ajit Pawar and his 40 NCP MLAs in response to a plea filed by the Sharad Pawar faction, challenging Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar's decision declaring Ajit Pawar's group as the real NCP. The court will hear both the Sharad Pawar faction's plea and a similar petition filed by the Uddhav Thackeray camp, which supports Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and his MLAs. The term of the Maharashtra state assembly expires in November this year, and the Sharad Pawar faction has requested an urgent hearing due to the imminent end of the assembly's term.
