Power struggle debate again in Supreme Court; The Thackeray group filed a petition 'for this'

Mumbai :- The dispute of power struggle in the state has once again reached the court. The Supreme Court had ordered that the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly should decide the disqualification of the MLAs while giving a decision on the power struggle case. But Shivsena's Thackeray faction has once again filed a petition in the court, claiming that there is a delay in taking a decision on the disqualification of MLAs. Thackeray MLA Sunil Prabhu has filed a petition in the Supreme Court regarding the disqualification of 16 Shiv Sena MLAs. Sunil Prabhu has filed a petition asking the Maharashtra Assembly Speaker to take a decision on the disqualification of MLAs at the earliest.

The dispute of power struggle has once again reached the court. Sunil Prabhu has filed this petition. In this petition of the Thackeray group, it has been demanded that the assembly speaker should be directed to take a decision regarding the disqualification of MLAs. Now it will be important to see what the court will decide on this petition.

Last year Eknath Shinde revolted from Shiv Sena. There was a vertical split in Shiv Sena due to Eknath Shinde's uprising. Uddhav Thackeray had to resign from the post of Chief Minister as the Mahavikas Aghadi government came to a minority. After that, Eknath Shinde took oath as Chief Minister with the support of BJP. In the same case, a petition was filed in the Supreme Court on behalf of the Thackeray group demanding disqualification action against the MLA who accompanied Eknath Shinde. The order has been given by the Supreme Court that the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly should take a decision in this regard while giving the verdict of this case.

Today in Politics: Key Developments to Watch

Waqf Amendment Bill in Lok Sabha

The Indian government is poised to introduce a significant amendment to the 1995 Waqf Act, aiming to increase transparency and accountability within Waqf boards. These boards manage charitable endowments and play a crucial role in the Muslim community. The proposed amendments include mandatory inclusion of women in these boards and require Waqf properties to be registered with district collectors to ensure accurate valuation.

This move addresses long-standing concerns about the opacity of Waqf boards’ operations and the challenges in legally contesting their decisions. With 30 Waqf boards across India managing properties valued at an estimated Rs 200 crore annually, these changes could have substantial impacts.

The amendment bill is expected to introduce around 40 changes to the current law, including land verification requirements before Waqf property declarations and re-evaluating disputed land claims. The government is determined to pass this bill during the current parliamentary session.

Election Commission’s Visit to Jammu and Kashmir

The Election Commission of India (ECI), led by Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar, is conducting a three-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir from August 8 to 10. The purpose of this visit is to assess the region’s readiness for the upcoming Assembly elections. This marks a pivotal moment, as these elections will be the first since the abrogation of Article 370 and the reorganization of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories in 2019.

The ECI’s visit includes meetings with district election officers, police superintendents, and other key officials. The commission will also hold a review meeting in Jammu with enforcement agencies and brief the media on their findings. With the Supreme Court’s directive to hold elections by September 30, preparations are in full swing, including the relocation of officers to ensure impartiality.

Ajit Pawar’s Jan Samman Yatra

Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar is set to kick off the Jan Samman Yatra, a significant outreach initiative by the ruling Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), from Dindori in Nashik district on August 8. This campaign aims to consolidate support ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections, showcasing unity among the NCP and its allies in the ruling Mahayuti coalition, which includes the BJP and Shiv Sena.

The NCP leadership emphasizes that the yatra will extend beyond NCP strongholds, visiting constituencies held by allies to present a united front for the Mahayuti coalition. The initiative underscores the party’s commitment to securing a strong mandate in the forthcoming elections.

President Droupadi Murmu’s Visit to New Zealand

President Droupadi Murmu embarks on a two-day state visit to New Zealand, marking the first presidential visit from India to New Zealand in eight years. Invited by Governor-General Cindy Kiro, President Murmu’s visit includes meetings with Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters.

This diplomatic engagement aims to strengthen bilateral relations between India and New Zealand, with a banquet hosted by Governor-General Kiro in honor of President Murmu’s visit. The trip underscores the importance of enhancing ties between the two nations, exploring areas of mutual interest and cooperation.

India things!

Recently, the Supreme Court (SC) has rebuked the Speaker of the Maharashtra Assembly for prolonging Anti-Defection proceedings against the Chief Minister and other MLAs.

The court expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of progress in the disqualification proceedings and urged the Speaker to make a decision within two months.

Previously, the court had directed the speaker to prepare a timeline for completing the disqualification proceedings under the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution.

The anti-defection law punishes individual Members of Parliament (MPs)/Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) for leaving one party for another.

Parliament added it to the Constitution as the Tenth Schedule in 1985 in order to bring stability to governments by discouraging legislators from changing parties.

The Tenth Schedule - popularly known as the Anti-Defection Act - was included in the Constitution via the 52nd Amendment Act, 1985.

As per the 1985 Act, a 'defection' by one-third of the elected members of a political party was considered a 'merger'.

But the 91st Constitutional Amendment Act, 2003, changed this and now at least two-thirds of the members of a party must be in favour of a "merger" for it to have validity in the eyes of the law.

Shiv Sena Case: Supreme Court Verdict

This article on 'Supreme Court rules the Governor not entitled to enter the political arena: Facts and Laws (Shiv Sena Case)' was written by an intern at Legal Upanishad.

INTRODUCTION

Governor is a nominal executive head of the state. He forms an important part of the state executive where he acts as the chief executive head. The central Government nominates the governor for each state. The governor has to act on the aid and advice of the council of ministers headed by the chief minister. Through the constitution, the governor has provided some power such as discretionary power, judicial power, financial emergency power, and legislative power and the governor has to act according to those powers given to him by the constitution. Every politician in our country is bound by the constitution and they cannot go beyond the constitution and if they do the same they will be treated as a criminal like a normal citizen in India and they will be punished accordingly by the laws and acts which are there for committing or breaching the constitution. Governor is the head of the state and like all other politicians, he is bound by the constitution. Through this article, the author will give you an enhanced view of where the Supreme Court ruled that the governor is not entitled to enter into a political arena through a famous case Shiv Sena Case.

FACTS (SHIV SENA CASE)

Uddhav Thackeray, a leader of the Shiv Sena and the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), was sworn in as the chief minister of Maharashtra on November 28, 2019. The Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party, and Indian National Congress have joined forces to form MVA. Mr. Eknath Shinde, the Shiv Sena's legislative leader, along with a number of other Shiv Sena MLAs vanished on June 21, 2022. The ‘rebel' group originally relocated to Surat before proceeding to Gauhati. They said that they lacked faith in CM Thackeray and the MVA coalition since they supported the Shiv Sena philosophy. On June 25, 2022, the Thackeray group delivered a notice for acting against party interests and began disqualification procedures against the dissident group. The notification was handed to the rebel group with 48 hours to reply. On June 26th, 2022, Mr. Shinde filed a petition with the Supreme Court of India disputing the actions taken to remove him and the other "rebel" MLAs from office. A vacation bench of the Supreme Court, consisting of Justices Surya Kant and J.B. Pardiwala, issued an extraordinary Order on June 27, 2022. The dissident party was given 12 days of "breathing time" by the Bench to react to the Deputy Speaker's (Acting Speaker) disqualification notice, which was issued on June 25th. The standard response period to notification of disqualification is seven days. The Court's involvement came as a surprise. The Court often stays out of the House's current processes in favour of awaiting the Speaker's decision, which it may then examine. The Deputy Speaker was also given notice by the Shinde faction to vacate his position.  The Shinde gang also contacted Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari at the same time. They announced that they were no longer supporting the MVA alliance. To determine if the Uddhav Thackeray administration still had the backing of the Maharashtra Legislature, the Governor ordered a floor test to be held on June 30. Because disqualification procedures against the rebel MLAs were still underway, the Thackeray side contested the results of the floor test before the SC. The floor test was scheduled for June 29, 2022, but the court declined to postpone it, indicating that the floor test's findings will depend on how the SC hearings turned out. CM Thackeray resigned shortly after the SC's Order without taking the floor test. The matter was referred to a 5-Judge Constitution Bench on August 22, 2022, by a 3-Judge Bench made up of former CJI N.V. Ramana and Justices Krishna Murari and Hima Kohli. On February 14, 2023, the Shiv Sena case was heard by a 5-judge Constitution Bench under the direction of Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud. The Thackeray side asked for the matter to be referred to a 7-Judge Bench during this hearing. The Bench resolved on February 17th, 2023, after hearing from the parties, not to refer the matter to a bigger Bench before a thorough hearing. The Electoral Commission of India (ECI) granted Shinde's group the party name Shiv Sena and the bow and arrow emblem on February 17th, 2023. The Thackeray side started claiming that the Shinde group ought to be dismissed since their activities constituted desertion on February 21st, 2023.

Supreme Court Verdict: Governor's Political Limits - Shiv Sena Case

WHAT IS DEFECTION?

According to the Constitution's 10th Schedule, defection is the act of a lawmaker switching political parties after winning an election. Under the 10th Schedule, legislators who have left their party are unable to hold office.

WHY ARE LAWS AGAINST DEFECTION REQUIRED?

Mr. Gaya Lal, a Haryana-based MLA, switched parties three times in a single day in 1967. As a result, "Aaya Ram, Gaya Ram" became well-known. Governments become unstable as a result of these defections. In order to combat defections and get rid of possible political corruption, the anti-defection provision was inserted into the Constitution in 1985. This legislation upholds the sacredness of open and transparent elections while valuing the voters' choice.

ARGUMENT FROM THE THACKRAY SIDE

The Shinde faction was accused of desertion by the Thackeray group because of its contempt for the party whip, selection of a new deputy speaker, demand for a floor test, and insistence of its majority. Additionally, they claimed that the Governor's request for a floor test was unlawful and that by doing so, he effectively acknowledged a "split" within the party. Splits, which were formerly exempt from the defection rule, no longer shield elected officials from being disqualified for defection. They also suggested that the SC should reevaluate its ruling in the 2016 Nabam Rebia case. According to this ruling, a Speaker cannot start disqualification actions against House members while a notification of his own dismissal is still pending. The Thackeray camp said that members who were considering defecting had a simple way to end the meeting. They just needed to submit a notification calling for the Speaker's dismissal.

WHAT DO THE SHINDE GROUP’S MAJOR DEFENCES CONSIST OF?

The MLAs from the Shinde group, however, asserted that they had not left the Shiv Sena. They are the real Shiv Sena, and their acts are the product of internal dissension. Additionally, the Speaker of the House, not the SC, had the power to rule in cases involving the disqualification of MLAs. Additionally, they said that the Governor had the legal authority to call for a floor test since he had sufficient grounds to think that Mr. Thackeray did not control the majority of the House. Furthermore, they said that Nabam Rebia (2016) made it very plain that a Speaker cannot initiate disqualification procedures against other House members while a notice of removal is pending in the chamber.

JUDGEMENT

The Supreme Court will issue its ruling in the Shiv Sena case involving the conflict between the Eknath Shinde and Uddhav Thackeray factions. The verdict will determine the future of the current Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra administration. On February 14, 2023, the Constitution Bench, which was made up of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justices MR Shah, Krishna Murari, Hima Kohli, and PS Narasimha, began hearing the Shiv Sena case. The Supreme Court declined to reinstate the Uddhav Thackeray government because he resigned during the Shiv Sena revolt last year without taking the floor test, therefore the Eknath Shinde administration is still in power.

CONCLUSION

The Supreme Court's ruling will make the Constitution's 10th Schedule's boundaries more clear. The judgement is anticipated to specifically address the Speaker's, Governor's, and SC's authority in cases involving internal dissents, splits, and party rebellions. If the Bench finds that the Shinde group left the Shiv Sena, they would essentially promote the role of party identity above individual member liberty in important House decisions. This implies that individual party members cannot ignore the Whip and cast a vote or abstain from casting a vote against the party's desires in the name of "internal dissent." The Governor was wrong to call for the floor test on June 28, 2022, and the SC's June 29th Order refusing to halt the floor test was also incorrect if the activities of the Shinde group amount to defection. This implies that the Governor cannot order a floor test in cases of disqualification (for defection) prior to the House passing a resolution of no confidence. Additionally, if the Thackeray side wins, the function of the ECI will be made clear. It will demonstrate that the Shinde group was improperly given the Shiv Sena party name and emblem by the ECI. The choice of the ECI cannot be made only on the basis of whatever group received the majority of votes in the Legislature. On the other hand, if the Bench decides that the Shinde group did not leave the Shiv Sena, then the autonomy of each individual member supersedes the party's identity. In doing so, the Governor would be entitled to call for a floor test if he had cause to believe that a party leader does not have the support of the majority of the House. This would prevent the House from passing a no-confidence resolution. It will also conclude that the ECI was correct to give the Shinde faction the Shiv Sena's bow and arrow insignia. Which side will leave this judgment with the moniker "the real Shiv Sena" depends on whether the case is referred to a bigger bench.

It often happens in litigation around political developments that judgments underscore high principles, but extend no relief to those impacted by breach of constitutional norms.

THE 'DEAD ENDS' OF INDIAN CONSTITUTION - VISITED!

The entire Maharashtra political battle, now hinges on most intriguing chronology of most interesting awaited court decisions in next 2 weeks. Since disqualification proceedings of breakaway (supposed) 2/3rd majority faction of Shiv Sena, by Dy Speaker, been stalled by SC for 2 wks, the big game, pundits on both sides abuzz with is, the amazingly synchronized possibility of a SC decision on pending Mah Speaker elec in this span, which if happens to oppn's favor ie allowing secret ballot vote thus bypassing whip rule (a whip authority itself challenged by 2/3rd majority number of breakaway faction), a rule in place till yr or so back when changed & thus challenged in SC, that then clears road for Governor to call fresh Speaker elections & end the matter then & there, likely in favor of Oppn per media reports (though contended by ruling MVA), & thus making Dy Speaker's issue itself irrelevant. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/assembly-speakers-election-cant-be-held-as-matter-sub-judice-maha-governor/articleshow/90266155.cms The issue in front of SC being, necessity of whip rule in party politics structure. Or, perhaps, going deeper,if party politics system itself be reasonable or not, per fundamental tenets of public representative electoral politics. Party politics & it's whip rule, at heart of overlording anti-defection law, on one hand, & idealism of truly perceptively neutral Speaker/Dy candidate,per tradition, on the other. A tussle btwn modern reality or practicality & idealism or tradition. Now if "bypassing the whip" plan fails, or not heard by then.. Will then arise (on July 11 alongside disqualification hearing),next alleged back-up plan of Oppn,namely,challenging power structure electing Leader of House or whip, itself. https://www.livelaw.in/top-stories/supreme-court-shiv-sena-eknath-shinde-disqualification-notices-deputy-speaker-202431 Their contention>Mr. Shinde elected Leader of Assembly from SS,by majority of it's legislature,not yet disqualified for anti-party activities within House,per Sch X(6),& hence with seemingly rightful continued authority to appoint his own whip,moreso with Dy Speaker's present tenure,& consequent discretionary powers to appoint replacement whip,itself in qun.(Thus Mr. Shinde's appointee then not issuing whip for Speaker's elec, & winning on technical grounds, per plan, one assumes) (Or on other hand, deciding on their man,with leader of Oppn,that then remove unfriendly Dy Speaker, per Sch X,& win floor test in new Dy Speaker elec). MVA though will rely on Proviso 7 of Xth Sch,which bars jurisdiction of any Court on matter of disqualification of 'a member of a House'. Also trying to dilute issue of Dy Speaker's notice to rebel members,as mere formality, as SC's Nabam Rebia decision outlines chronology of events to be followed>Speaker/Dy to call floor test of ALL members,not just those present,& only thereafter decide on disqualifications. Thus trying to stall matters further till close to Govt's term. a.https://mea.gov.in/Images/pdf1/S10.pdf b.https://indiaaheadnews.com/india/explained-what-is-the-nabam-rebia-case-referred-by-shiv-sena-rebels-during-sc-hearing-217392/ Political legacies hinging entirely on finest most hairline borderline legal decisions ahead!

The history of Balasaheb, Pawar will not be erased from Maharashtra; Sanjay Raut targets BJP

Mumbai : Eknath Shinde and his splinter group made Shiv Sena claim the party and symbol. Claiming the party and the symbol was not in the heads of the people who broke away. This head belongs to Delhi BJP. They want to erase the name of Shiv Sena and Balasaheb Thackeray from Maharashtra. He followed the same method in the case of NCP.

The NCP split, but at the same time they made the prominent people join hands and claim that we are the NCP. A serial killer has a modus operandi. There are serial rapists. Thackeray MP Sanjay Raut criticized the BJP saying that BJP is a serial rapist and serial killer in politics. He was talking to the media today.

The strategy of the BJP is to split the party into a certain number and make the splinter group claim the party and the symbol. Balasaheb Thackeray and Shiv Sena were to be destroyed from Maharashtra. After that, Sharad Pawar's name is destroyed, he does not want to create any history. Those who do nothing themselves do such things. BJP is making similar efforts in other states. No matter how many efforts are made, the history of Balasaheb and Sharad Pawar will not be erased from Maharashtra. As far as the legal battle is concerned, Shiv Sena has won the legal battle. According to the verdict given by the Supreme Court, the disqualified MLAs of Maharashtra will be disqualified. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is also there. I am 100 percent sure that the same result can be applied to the splinter group of NCP. A split in the legislature party is not a party split. This has been explained by the Dhananjay Chandrachud bench.

No matter who does any kind of politics, NCP will go to her place and Shiv Sena to her place. Nothing like Operation Lotus happened. I think that BJP has done the operation. With the split between Shiv Sena and NCP, it is seen that the BJP has lost its clothes in the country and is ideologically circumcised. Sanjay Raut also criticized this.
