Supreme Court today ordered restoration of the Nabam Tuki led congress government in Aruncal Pardesh ruling Governor’s decision advancing Arunachal Assembly session by a month is in violation of Constitution and liable to be quashed.
Apex court directed status quo ante in Arunachal Pradesh as it prevailed on Dec 15, 2015
SC observed that Governor’s direction on conducting assembly proceedings was in violation of Constitution.
SC ruled that all steps and decision taken by Legislative Assembly pursuant to Governor’s Dec 9, 2015 order are unsustainable & liable to be set aside. All the five judges were unanimous in setting aside the orders of Governor Jyoti Prasad Rajkhowa.
Arunachal Pradesh had been under President’s Rule since January 26. On December 16, the Nabam Tuki government was 
dismissed in an assembly session called by Governor JP Rajkhowa.” After the verdict Tuki told media that it was a victory of democracy, ” the law has protected us and protected our country, ” he said.
The Congress government was dismissed following days of turmoil after 21 of its 47 lawmakers rebelled against the chief minister.
In the dramatic developments that followed, the Governor advanced the state assembly session, in which opposition legislators, along with the rebels, “removed” Mr Tuki and Speaker Nabam Rebia. The session was held in a community centre and a hotel as the assembly building had been locked on the Speaker’s orders.
The governor had justified his action saying he believed that a “biased” Speaker would act in support of Chief Minister Tuki even though he had lost his majority.
The leader of the dissident faction, Kalikho Pul, was sworn in as chief minister on 19 February, with the support of the rebels and 11 legislators of the BJP.
