Accusing Maha Speaker of bias, Thackeray faction moves SC for speedy adjudication of disqualification pleas against CM, his loyal MLAs

Shiv Sena (UBT) has requested the Supreme Court to direct the assembly speaker in Maharashtra to expedite the adjudication of the disqualification petitions filed against Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and other Sena MLAs. The plea alleges that the Speaker is deliberately delaying the adjudication despite the apex court’s May 11 verdict, which directed the pending disqualification petitions to be decided within a reasonable period.
