A five-judge Constitution bench of the Supreme Court will pronounce a verdict relating to Maharashtra political crisis on Thursday.
The bench comprising Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justices MR Shah, Krishna Murari, Hima Kohli and PS Narasimha will pronounce judgement on a batch of cross-petitions filed by Uddhav Thackeray and chief minister M Eknath Shinde factions on Maharashtra political crisis.
The crisis prompted a change of guard in the state last year, however, the judgement would also have broader implications as the court is likely to decide the role of the Speaker and the governor in case of defection and intra-party crisis.
