In a major setback for team Eknath Shinde in Maharashtra, the Bombay High Court on Friday rejected the application of the CM's Faction to hold a Dusshera rally at Mumbai's Shivaji Park.
The HC allowed the petition by Uddhav Thackeray faction for permission to hold the rally at Shivaji Park. The HC observed that Municipal Council misused its powers in deciding the application of petitioners. The ground will be given to Thackeray's Sena for preparations from 2 to 6 October.
Shiv Sena MLA Sada Sarvankar filed an application in the Bombay High Court on Thursday, seeking the court to not hear or decide the Thackeray-led Sena's petition for permission to hold their annual Dussehra rally at the Shivaji Park.
Savarkar said if the HC passes any order on the issue, then it would cause an impediment on the ongoing dispute on who represents the "real Shiv Sena".
