The petition that has challenged ECI's order of October 8 where contends that the order was passed in complete violation of the principles of natural justice and without granting any hearing to the parties.
The petition has arrayed ECI and Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknathrao Sambhaji Shinde as parties.
Earlier, the Supreme Court had declined to stay the proceedings before the Election Commission of India on the Eknath Shinde group's claim for recognition as 'real' Shiv Sena.
The top court allowed the Election Commission to decide which faction between Uddhav Thackeray and Eknath Shinde be recognised as the 'real' Shiv Sena party and allotment of the bow and arrow symbol.
