New Delhi: The Supreme Court has said that the Election Commission’s order given to Eknath Shinde’s party, Shiv Sena’s election symbol, arrow, and bow, cannot be stayed. The court also rejected the demand for an order to stay the acquisition of offices and bank accounts by the Shinde side until the petition is disposed of.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has sent a notice to Shinde on a petition filed by Uddhav Thackeray against the order of the Election Commission. A bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud directed the Shinde side not to proceed with the disqualification of the Uddhav MLAs till the final decision of the court. The Supreme Court adjourned the petition for hearing after two weeks.
