On being asked by reporters about the apex court likely to pass judgement on Thursday, Maharashtra Opposition leader Aaditya Thackeray said, "We have full faith in the judiciary. Abiding by the Constitution will only benefit the country.

CJI Chandrachud on Wednesday said that "We are going to be delivering two judgments tomorrow," reported ANI.

The five-judge Constitution bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, Justices MR Shah, Krishna Murari, Hima Kohli and PS Narasimha was dealing with the issue related to Maharashtra political crisis.

After the apex court in June, 2022 had refused to stay the Governor’s direction to Uddhav Thackeray to prove his majority in the assembly, he resigned paving the way for Eknath Shinde to come to power in Maharashtra in alliance with the BJP.
