In Brief
Shiv Sena and others challenged the Governor's decision to invite Devendra Fadnavis to form the Government on 23 November 2019. The Writ Petition raised questions about the constitutional validity of the Governor's order and sought a floor test within 24 hours to determine majority. The Supreme Court, noting the absence of the State Government's representation, directed the production of the Governor's order and Fadnavis's letters by the next hearing to examine the matter and pass appropriate orders, including on the interim prayer for a floor test.
