As the Supreme Court on Wednesday began to hear the cases on the rift of the Shiv Sena, senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the Uddhav camp, said there must be a merger if a rebel camp wants protection against disqualification. “Until the SC decides all the points of law, nothing should be done. Let this court also decide on the disqualification petitions,” Sibal said.
Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi also appeared for the Uddhav Thackeray faction and argued that the floor test should have been stalled by the Supreme court. “Tenth Schedule has been made nugatory,” he added.
