Downloads
Abstract
The judgment given on the 13th July,2016 by the five judge constitution bench comprising of Justices J.S. Khehar, Dipak Misra, Madan B. Lokur, P.C. Ghose and N.V. Ramana. This is said to be one of the landmark judgments in the history of democratic India. It was one of the biggest blows to the BJP government when Supreme Court gave the judgment of restoring back Congress-led Nabam Tuki government in the state of Arunachal Pradesh.
The five-judge constitution bench was passing orders after examination of constitutional schemes on the scope of discretionary powers of the Governor. The bench was essentially looking into constitutionality of State Governor J.P. Rajkhowa’s move to advance the Arunachal Assembly session, which eventually triggered a political crisis leading to the Congress-led Nabam Tuki government and proclamation of President’s rule in the State on January 26, 2016.
Nabam Rebia is a politician from the Indian National Congress (INC) and a former member of the parliament representing Arunachal Pradesh in the Upper House of the Indian Parliament. Bamang Felix is an Indian politician from the state of Arunachal Pradesh. Felix was elected unopposed from the Nyapin seat in the 2014 Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly election, standing as a People's Party of Arunachal candidate.
