Uttarakhand : Rawat wins trust vote, Centre to withdraw President's rule
Reports said the Centre informed the court that President's Rule, which has been in force in the state since March 27, will be lifted on Wednesday itself.
The Supreme Court ruled last week that Rawat, the deposed Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, must be given a chance to prove that he still has a majority in the state legislature.
After the trust vote, the Congress claimed victory.
The results of the test were handed over to the Supreme Court in a sealed cover. the court confirmed on Wednesday that Rawat had the support of 33 lawmakers, two more than he needed for majority.
