As per the circular, it informed all state MLAs that as per the Governor's orders, there's no need for a floor test now, so today's special session will not be convened.
The notification comes following Leader of Opposition and former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis visited the Governor on Tuesday night after returning from Delhi, and submitted a letter to him demanding an immediate floor test.
A bench of Justices Surya Kant and J.B. Pardiwala said it cannot pass an order, which would create unnecessary complications. It told senior advocate Devdutt Kamat, representing the Maharashtra government, that if anything illegal happens, then he can always come back to the top court.
“If the rebel Congress MLAs and ministers are true and serious in their stance against Captain, then why don't they move a motion of no-confidence in the Assembly,” Harpal Singh Cheema.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan passed the floor test in the state Assembly on Tuesday by voice vote, a day after assuming office.
The resignation of 22 MLAs, including six ministers loyal to Jyotiraditya Scindia, had plunged the Congress-ruled government into crisis last week.
A bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud and comprising Justice Hemant Gupta expressed its unwillingness to facilitate or create any kind of political situation which leads to horse-trading in the ongoing political crisis in Madhya Pradesh.
On Tuesday, the court had asked the Kamal Nath government in the state to respond by Wednesday to a plea by senior BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan seeking immediate floor test in the Assembly.
Kamal Nath on Monday said that he had the numbers after his Congress government was asked by the Governor to prove its majority by Tuesday, hours after it got a 10-day breather with the assembly being adjourned till March 26.
