Bharat Gogawale on Monday approached the Bombay High Court challenging the “legality, propriety and correctness” of assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar’s order dismissing the disqualification petition submitted by him against 14 Sena (UBT) MLAs, including Sunil Prabhu. “The final order, dated January 10, by the speaker erroneously concludes that the grounds as raised by the petitioner are mere allegations and assertions on the part of the petitioner. This conclusion is ex facie illegal and cannot be sustained,” said the petition.

MUMBAI: Bharat Gogawale, chief whip of the CM Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, on Monday approached the Bombay High Court challenging the “legality, propriety and correctness” of assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar’s order dismissing the disqualification petition submitted by him against 14 Sena (UBT) MLAs, including Sunil Prabhu, reports Swati Deshpande.
“The final order, dated January 10, by the speaker erroneously concludes that the grounds as raised by the petitioner are mere allegations and assertions on the part of the petitioner.

This conclusion is ex facie illegal and cannot be sustained,” said the petition. “This vote is a part of the record of assembly and in no manner can be said to be a mere allegation.”
