Uddhav Thackeray vs Eknath Shinde : Supreme Court Poses Multiple Questions On Governor's Role | Live Updates From Hearing [March 15]
Sibal: You cannot give yourself the powers of the party. Sitting in Assam, being entertained by another party, publically saying that another party is fully supporting me and changing the constitution of the house as if you're the political party.
Sibal: How could the governor call Eknath Shinde? Who is Eknath Shinde? I'm talking in constitutional terms. Argument is that Shinde is group leader. Under which law?
Sibal: Whip has to be obeyed. Sunil Prabhu has to be obeyed.
Sibal: Who are the political party recognised in the assembly? Shivsena. Who was the whip? Sunil Prabhu.
SG Mehta: How is this relevant? In a rejoinder...
Sibal: My colleagues have argued for 5 days. I haven't uttered a word. So please allow me to argue in my own way.

Sibal: 34 of you sitting in Assam in the lap of the BJP will appoint Gogawale as a whip and then come to the court and say look we already appointed the whip! Under what power?
Sibal: It's the political party that appoints the whip.
Sibal: All the counsels have not commented upon the concept of whip. I was surprised when Mr Kaul gave lordships a letter of Mr Sanjay saying it's actually the leader of the house who appoints the whip.
Sibal: See the havoc it'll cost. All you need to do is work up numbers. And they will say on public platforms that it is a call of conscience. We know the extent of their conscience.
