The Apex Court yesterday issued notice to Centre, Maharashtra Government, Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar after hearing the petition of Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress challenging Governor\u2019s invitation to Fadnavis to form the government in the state.<\/span><\/p>\n

The court has ordered centre to produce relevant documents from Governor\u2019s letter inviting BJP to form government and letter of support of MLAs by 10.30 am today.<\/span><\/p>\n

The matter was heard by a three-judge bench comprising Justice NV Ramana, Justice Ashok Bhushan and Justice Sanjiv Khanna.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ajit Pawar and Devendra Fadnavis held late night meeting on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the chief minister office, the two discussed on various measures for additional support and assistance to unseasonal rain affected farmers.<\/span><\/p>\n
