Stay here for a day, let's run away to save our lives… Chief Justice Chandrachud got angry with the lawyer.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday heard two petitions related to political disputes in Maharashtra. Chief Justice Chandrachud, Justice J.P. A bench comprising Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Misra decided the date of hearing. Meanwhile, in one case, the lawyer repeatedly asked for an early hearing date. Chief Justice TY Chandrachud got angry and said sit here for a day. I can say with full confidence that you will escape with your life. After the Shiv Sena split in June 2022, Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narvekar declared the faction led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde as the real Shiv Sena. The Uddhav Thackeray group has challenged this. The Sharad Pawar wing of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has filed another petition. Narwekar's decision has been challenged in this, where the Ajit Pawar-led group is the real NCP. Court sent notice to Ajit and his 40 MLAs The Supreme Court recently issued a notice to Ajit Pawar and his 40 MLAs on a plea by the Sarath Pawar group. While listing the matter related to NCP, the bench heard advocate N. Off. Sharad Pawar took note of Kaul's contention that three weeks should be given to file a reply to the group's petition. Ajit Pawar's team and 40 MLAs were given 10 days to respond. He also said that the petition will be heard after that. Meanwhile, counsel appearing for the Uddhav group sought an advance date. He said that the assembly elections in the state are near. With this in mind, this case should be listed as soon as possible. “You should have told the court master what date you wanted and not to issue orders to the court on that date,” the chief justice said. Why not come and sit here one day. Tell the court master what date you want. You can see how much workload the court has. Come and sit here one day. I can say with confidence that they will escape alive.
