Breaking: Maharashtra Floor Test- Supreme Court To Pronounce Order At 9 PM Today-LIVE UPDATES

Singhvi : When my left hand is tied from tenth schedule, and the right hand is asked to do floor test, the argument cannot be that the floor test is essential to democracy.

Singhvi : A caricature is made out of my arguments. There has never been a single case where the hands of the Speaker was tied. 

SG concludes.

Singhvi now makes rejoinder.

SG : In the absence of anything pointed out that the Governor decided based on extraneous circumstances or irrelevant material, your lordships will not intervene.

SG : The Governor has taken into consideration various letters sent to him. The Governor in totality is satisfied, based on relevant materials, that you have to immediately go to the floor of the house. 

SG : Dy Speaker gave two days notice. Now the same person is asking why 24 hours notice for floor test.

SG refers to a media report regarding threats issued to 39 MLAs.

Justice Kant : These kind of emotional statements....

SG : Governor cannot ignore these aspects.

SG : Your lordship's question to the petitioner was that are you disputing 39 MLAs your majority. They said they have no means to verify. Truth comes up but.

SG refers to the undertaking given by Maharashtra Counsel on June 27 to protect 39 MLAs, which was recorded in SC order.

SG reads the order of Governor.

SG : The parameters for challenging Governor's order are not met by the petitioners.
