Justice R H Shukla while dismissing the petition filed by Solanki challenging Governor Kamala Beniwal’s decision held that her order was legal.
In July last, Solanki, the Fisheries minister, had moved the High Court seeking to cancel the order of the Governor granting sanction for his prosecution overruling the state council of ministers.
He had claimed that the decision of the Governor overruling the council of ministers and granting the prosecution under the Prevention of Corruption Act was totally illegal, unconstitutional and outside her purview.
In his petition, Mr Solanki had sought Governor’s decision to be declared unconstitutional and requested the High Court to set aside the decision taken by her.
