New Delhi, August 1
The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday refused an urgent hearing on Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray’s petition challenging the Election Commission’s order allotting party name “Shiv Sena” and symbol “Bow and Arrow” to the faction led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
“Wait for the Constitution Bench on Jammu and Kashmir to get over and we will give a date,” a Bench led by CJI DY Chandrachud told advocate Amit Anand Tiwari, who mentioned the matter for urgent hearing. Thackeray contended the matter required an urgent hearing as the impugned order of poll panel was completely illegal in view of the May 11 Constitution Bench verdict on issues arising out of the 2022 political crisis in the state. On February 17, the Election Commission allotted the name “Shiv Sena” and its poll symbol “bow and arrow” to the group led by now Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde.
