The Maharashtra Speaker will hear the disqualification case against 16 Shiv Sena MLAs, including chief minister Eknath Shinde, on October 13. The Uddhav group argues that evidence is not needed as the details of the case are clear. The Shinde group wants separate hearings for each MLA, which the Uddhav group sees as a delay tactic. The Speaker will decide on October 13 whether the hearings will be conducted as a group or separately. The Supreme Court has asked for a prompt decision.
