The Governor was wrong to conclude that Uddhav Thackeray had lost majority, the Supreme Court ruled.

The Eknath Shinde government remains safe as the Supreme Court refused to restore the Uddhav Thackeray government citing he quit without facing the floor test during last year's Shiv Sena mutiny.

  1. Had Uddhav Thackeray not resigned, this court could have restored his government.
