- Published on 14 Jul 16

a. Jammu & Kashmir
b. Uttarakhand
c. HP
d. None of the above

ANSWER: None of the above
 
In an important judgement on 13th July, SC indicated that Arunachal Pradesh governor Jyoti Prasad Rajkhowa’s decision advancing session of state assembly by a month is violative of the Constitution and is liable to be quashed.
  • SC indicates steps and decisions taken by the legislative assembly pursuant to the governor’s December 2015 order are unsustainable and likely to be quashed.
  • New AP government headed by Kalikho Pul would have to step down now to make way for Congress government headed by Nabam Tuki
  • SC also struck down removal of speaker Nabam Rebia and said he would be restored back as Speaker of the House.
  • This marks the first time the apex court has put back a state government dismissed by the Centre under the President’s rule.
