SG Mehta: On 25th June 2022, 38 MLAs write to the governor that malicious withdrawal of securities of our families had taken place. They produced the video clips of national news channels.
15 March 2023 11:25 AM IST
SG Mehta: This fact is not in dispute. This would have a bearing on why the governor called Eknath Shinde when the dispute arose.
15 March 2023 11:25 AM IST
SG Mehta: There is a political party and legislature party. The legislature party appoints Shri Eknath Shinde as the group leader of the legislature party.
15 March 2023 11:23 AM IST
SG Mehta: The sixth proposition is that why did governor invite Mr Shinde and not the president of the party.
15 March 2023 11:22 AM IST
SG Mehta: Next point is that power of governor to call for floor test is only before government is formed.
That is dealt with your lordships in Shivraj Singh Chouhan. That is good law.
15 March 2023 11:22 AM IST
SG Mehta: Next point the petitioners urge was that governor should have required their side to move a no confidence motion rather than directing a floor test.
15 March 2023 11:22 AM IST
SG Mehta: First point is objective material given to the Governor. Second is that the governor is not concerned with tenth schedule and consequences contemplated on it.

Sr Adv Kapil Sibal: When I was a young lawyer...
SG Mehta: You're still a young lawyer.
Sr Adv Sibal: Thank you so much. When I was a young lawyer, the kind of dialogue that used to go on in Justice Bhagwati or Justice Chandrachud's court was impressive.
15 March 2023 11:21 AM IST
SG Mehta: I'd like to point out seven points I need to assist with.
