The panel had postponed hearing a request on Friday to have the 2016 Nabam Rebia ruling reviewed and sent to a seven-judge bench. The ruling relates to the authority of assembly speakers to rule on disqualification arguments. At that time, the court had ruled that if a prior notice seeking his removal is now before the House, the assembly speaker cannot move further with a plea for the disqualification of MLAs.
The renegade MLAs were able to stay in the assembly thanks to the judgement, which benefited the faction commanded by Mr. Shinde. As a notification from the Shinde group for the removal of Deputy Speaker Narhari Sitaram Zirwal, an NCP politician, was still pending in the House, the Uddhav Thackeray side sought their disqualification.
