Three days after the Supreme Court gave its verdict on the political crisis in Maharashtra, a high-level delegation of Shiv Sena (UBT) handed over a 79-page letter to Deputy Speaker Narhari Zhirwal demanding to complete the process to disqualify 16 MLAs from Shinde camp and take a decision within 15 days. Reacting to this, NCP leader Ajit Pawar made it clear that the action would not actually topple the government. Meanwhile Speaker Rahul Narvekar said that decision “will be taken as per the law” and “not to satisfy anyone”.

Justice BR Gavai read out the majority view on behalf of himself and justices SA Nazeer, AS Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian.The top court said the Centre had the power to demonetise all series of a bank note, adding the November 8, 2016 decision can't be said to be unreasonable nor was it hit by the doctrine of proportionality. The Supreme Court said it is not relevant whether the objective behind the decision was achieved or not. Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram, who had appeared on behalf of the petitioners, welcomed the dissenting judgment, calling it a slap on the wrist of the government. The Congress and BJP have differences in opinion regarding the SC verdict on demonetization.
