Speaker may conclude Sena hearings by Feb '24: Officials

Maharashtra assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar is expected to submit a revised schedule to the Supreme Court indicating that the Shiv Sena MLAs' disqualification proceedings will likely be concluded by February 2024. The petitions will be clubbed and heard together if they have a common cause of action. The Uddhav Thackeray faction has requested joint hearings, while the Eknath Shinde-led group wants separate hearings. The Speaker will decide on the procedure on Friday. Limited opportunities for evidence and cross-examination will be given to expedite the proceedings.
