The Apex Court on Monday asked the lawyer of Uddhav Thackeray-led faction of Shiv Sena to mention it tomorrow. A bench led by Chief Justice, DY Chandrachud observed that the plea seeking an urgent hearing on the petition was not mentioned in the list. The court furthermore said that the plea seeking an urgent hearing should have been mentioned in the list.

Meanwhile, a Caveat application has been already filed by the Shinde group in Supreme Court over the matter. It is filed by a litigant to ensure that no adverse order is passed against him or her without being heard.
