The Supreme Court on Thursday referred the Sena split case to a larger bench.
The court said that the 2016 Nabam Rebia case which held that Speaker cannot initiate disqualification proceedings when a resolution seeking their removal is pending requires reference to a larger bench.
Supreme Court also noted that issues such as whether a notice to the removal of the Speaker will restrict his power to issue disqualification notices need an examination by a larger bench.
The court also held that Speaker’s decision to appoint Gogawale (backed by the Shinde Group) as the whip of Shiv Sena party was illegal.
