Not interested in delay but won't hurry either: Maharashtra speaker on disqualification pleas

Mumbai, Sep 19 (PTI) Maharashtra assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar has said he would not delay the decision regarding the disqualification pleas against Shiv Sena MLAs but won't rush in either which could result in the "miscarriage of justice".

Narwekar was speaking to reporters on Monday evening after the Supreme Court directed him to spell out the timeline within a week for adjudication of the disqualification petitions filed against Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Shiv Sena MLAs loyal to him.

“I am not aware of it (SC comments). I am not interested in delaying this matter nor am I going to hurry which will result in a miscarriage of justice,” he said.
