Moreover, the Supreme Court has allowed jailed NCP MLAs Nawab Malik and Anil Deshmukh to participate in the proceedings of the floor test in the Maharashtra assembly tomorrow.
Since Nawab Malik and Anil Deshmukh are in judicial custody of the Enforcement Directorate and CBI, both the agencies are directed to escort them to the Assembly to participate in the floor test and bring them back to the judicial custody.
