Uttarakhand: President's rule will continue, no floor test on Apr 29

India blooms News Service | | Apr 27, 2016, at 09:47 pm

New Delhi, Apr 27 (IBNS): The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that the President's Rule will continue in Uttarakhand.

The court had earlier framed seven questions pertaining to the imposition of President’s rule in Uttarakhand and sought the Centre’s reply on the issue.

The next hearing in the case will be held on May 3.

No floor test will be held in the state on Apr 29.

The NDA-run Centre imposed President's Rule on March 27, one day before chief minister Harish Rawat was to take a trust vote.

The government had argued that Rawat had lost the right to rule because nine Congressmen had voted against the budget and the bill was defeated.

Rawat and the Congress say the Centre misused President's Rule to dislodge an elected government led by an opposition party.

Hearing the Centre’s plea against the Uttarakhand High Court that quashed President’t Rule in the state, the apex court earlier said the state chief secretary has nothing to do with the present matter. Could the Governor have sent the message in the present manner under Article 175 (2) for conducting floor test, asks SC in one of its questions.
