What happened in Supreme Court today? Read complete story HERE...

Supreme Court concludes hearing

Final verdict to be pronounced tomorrow at 10.30 am.

Supreme Court directs SG Tushar Mehta to produce the two letters

Governor inviting BJP to form government and second the letter of support placed by Fadnavis tomorrow.

Rohatgi: When the governor chooses the CM, it is not open to judicial review. It is his individual discretion, not guided by the Cabinet. Rohatgi cites Article 361 - Protection of President and Governors and Rajpramukhs

Rohatgi: When the governor chooses the CM, it is not open to judicial review. It is his individual discretion, not guided by the Cabinet. Rohatgi cites Article 361 - Protection of President and Governors and Rajpramukhs.

Mukul Rohatgi: For so many days they didn't lift a little finger to form the government and now someone else has formed the Govt. No doubt that the floor test is inevitable but the decision of the Governor are not subject to judicial review.

There is no requirement to pass any order today since a date of floor-test has already been announced: Rohatgi, appearing for BJP.

Floor test is only a Constitutional obligation of a democracy, says Singhvi

Someone claiming majority yesterday is shying away from a floor test today, says Singhvi.

Kapil Sibal concludes saying their alliance is ready to probe majority if floor test is ordered.

Singhvi recounts the Supreme Court order in Karnataka case.

Singhvi: The NCP had a meeting yesterday removing Ajit Pawar expelling him from the post. Out of 54 MLAs (of NCP), 41 have signed it and was given to the Governor this morning.

Abhishek Manu Singhvi  begins to make submissions.Obligation of governor to satisfy himself, based on written documents, bearing signatures and physical verification.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta appears for Centre, says combine does not have fundamental right to form govt, their plea can't be allowed.

Mukul Rohatgi who is representing some BJP and some independent MLAs says, the Govt has been formed for now so there is no reason for this Sunday hearing. 

Sibal: Only thing to do today is if they believe they have the numbers, majority and can prove their support, they should be directed to conduct floor test today itself.

Sibal: It is bizarre that on Saturday at 5.47 AM the President's rule was revoked and in less than three hours Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar were sworn in.

Kapil Sibal: It appears that the Governor is acting directly under the orders of a political party. The act of Governor is biased, malafide, and contrary to all norms.

Congress leader and senior lawyer Kapil Sibal presses for a floor test today itself.

Missing' MLA hints return to NCP, BJP MP meets Sharad Pawar

The NCP on Sunday said one of its its 'missing' MLAs Anil Patil has expressed faith in the leadership of Sharad Pawar, indicating his return to the party fold.

Maharashtra

Ashish Shelar, BJP: Governor had asked (Shiv Sena) them about their willingness and ability to form the govt. Showing interest to form government and giving time to form government are two different things. Shiv Sena is confusing these two. How can those, who could not decide their Common Minimum Programme in last 10 days, parade MLAs before the Governor in 10 minutes?
