The Supreme Court will hear a petition from Uddhav Thackeray's faction of Shiv Sena, challenging a ruling by Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar that recognized Eknath Shinde's group as the "real" Shiv Sena. The January decision deemed Shinde's faction as the majority in the legislature. The court will also consider disqualification petitions against Shinde and his MLAs, as well as a related plea concerning defectors from the Ajit Pawar faction.
