SC rejects PIL for dismissal of MVA govt, says ask President

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a PIL seeking dismissal of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government led by Uddhav Thackeray in Maharashtra and imposition of president's rule in the state.
A bench of Chief Justice S A Bobde and Justice A S Bopanna and Justice V Ramasubramanian said it could not entertain prayers like these.
"As a petitioner, you are at liberty to approach the President, but do not come here," the court said in a video-conference hearing.
Vikram Gehlot had filed the PIL seeking dismissal of the government alleging that the affairs of the state were not being carried out in line with constitutional and legal provisions. The plea had referred to actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death and the demolition of a part of actress Kangana Ranaut's property as examples of poor law and order.
The top court took strong note of the submissions and asked as to how it can be said that the Constitution was not being followed because of some incidents. Maharashtra is a big state, said the bench.
