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.

'We respect the court order. We are ready to prove majority and we will show it,' Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrakant Patil told reporters.
The three-judge bench headed by Justice NV Ramana comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Ashok Bhushan reserved their order on the urgent plea filed by Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress challenging "illegitimate government" formation in Maharashtra on Monday.
In a show of strength on Monday the NCP-Congress-Shiv Sena alliance claimed that they have support of 162 MLAs.
The three parties have put up their MLAs in hotels in order to guard vulnerable ones against being poached by the BJP and the NCP splinter group.
