Real Shiv Sena: Relief for Uddhav Thackeray camp as SC asks EC to not decide on Eknath Shinde’s plea for now

Mumbai, 4/8: The Supreme Court Thursday asked the Election Commission not to take any decision for now on the Eknath Shinde faction’s plea that it be considered the real Shiv Sena and granted the party poll symbol.

A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana said it would take a call by Monday on referring the matters related to the recent Maharashtra political crisis to a constitution bench.

“We will decide whether to refer the matter to the 5-judges constitution bench,” the bench, also comprising justices Krishna Murari and Hima Kohli, said.
