Up In The Air: Team Thackeray's Court Hearing, Rebels On A Flight | Read
The Supreme Court began hearing Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's plea against an order by the governor to prove his majority tomorrow. Shiv Sena rebels, who have ignored Mr Thackeray's appeals to return, have left Guwahati. Team Thackeray has gone to the Supreme Court with the argument that Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari's order is illegal, as 16 rebel MLAs have yet to respond on their possible disqualification. The Governor ordered the test of strength a day after BJP leaders met him and told him the Uddhav Thackeray-led coalition has lost its majority.
