Uddhav Thackeray vs Eknath Shinde : Live Updates From Supreme Court Hearing | Shiv Sena Case [March 2]

Salve: How do you know who would have supported whom? What if one of his coalition partners said sorry we don't want to support you? We don't know! And it's not for us to decide as lawyers.

Salve: To embark on this journey for court would be extremely perilous. Mr Thackeray resigns. Governor calls for a floor test for a sitting CM. Floor test doesn't happen.

Salve: What is it that the court is called to decide today? If we take a step back, we see what the court is to decide. I want to respond Mr Sibal's submission on what role the court has to take to ensure political morality.

Senior Advocate NK Kaul concludes his arguments. Senior Advocate Harish Salve logs in virtually to make his submissions in the matter.

Kaul: There are two seperate meetings. Please don't confuse minutes of one meeting with another.

Kaul: What is wrong with that? What is wrong with the governor's decision? He called for floor test within two days.

Kaul: CM lost his majority, coalition couldn't survive, we within the party were the overwhelming majority. Someone has to head the government. Someone has to be sworn in. If someone comes and shows they have majority, what does the governor do? He says prove your majority.

Kaul: Ex post facto doesn't mean that since your disqualification is going to be decided, all your acts as MLAs would be annulled.

Kaul: "The speaker will embark upon a full fledged enquiry"- this submission is without jurisdiction- quite apart from the fact that you're seeking an artificial distinction which doesn't exist.

Kaul: Shivraj Singh Chouhan don't just deal with resignation of the MLAs, it also deals with disqualification proceedings.
