Uddhav Thackeray vs Eknath Shinde : Supreme Court Poses Multiple Questions On Governor's Role | Live Updates From Hearing [March 15]

Justice PS Narasimha: The stark distinction so far as Rameshwar is concerned- Rameshwar government was not formed.

[SG Mehta reads from the judgement in Rameshwar Prasad v UOI]

SG Mehta: May i request your lordships to examine the facts of the case after the law.

CJI DY Chandrachud: He can't be oblivious to the fact that in a three party coalition, the dissent has taken place in one party of the three. The other two are steadfast in the coalition. They are not by any means sidekicks. They're almost at power

CJI DY Chandrachud: Second thing governor has to bear in mind is that as of this date there is not even a suggestion that Shivsena is going to team up with the BJP to form the government.

CJI DY Chandrachud: What is disturbed is out of 56 the Shivsena had, 34 have...

CJI DY Chandrachud: Congress had 44 members and NCP had 53 members. This is a glock of 97. The 97 still continue to be a solid block.

CJI DY Chandrachud: One, insofar as the Congress and the NCP are concerned, there is no internal dissent in either INC or NCP.

CJI DY Chandrachud: There are two important things which the governor has not taken into account.

SG Mehta: Your lordships asked if merely because of internal dissatisfaction the governor can take this call. A similar question arose in Rameshwar Prasad.
