The Supreme Court of India has issued a directive to Maharashtra assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar, instructing him to resolve the disqualification petitions against the state's Chief Minister, Eknath Shinde, and the supporting Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) by December 31. This decision comes after the court expressed dissatisfaction with the delay in the adjudication process earlier this month.
The Supreme Court had criticized Speaker Narwekar for not promptly handling the disqualification petitions, which had caused significant delays in the legal proceedings. In response to this, the court took a firm stance, emphasizing that it is essential to maintain the court's dignity and ensure the compliance of its orders.
The court warned that if Speaker Narwekar failed to establish an expedited schedule for the resolution of these cases, the court itself would set a timeline to ensure a swift resolution.

The disqualification petitions in question pertain to the eligibility of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and the MLAs who support him. Resolving these petitions is crucial to determine whether there have been any violations or discrepancies in their qualifications or if they have conducted activities that may warrant disqualification from their roles.
The Supreme Court's intervention reflects the need for transparency, accountability, and the adherence to legal procedures in the functioning of government bodies. The directive emphasizes the importance of timely and fair decisions in such cases, reinforcing the principles of justice and the rule of law.
