Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the constitutional provisions under the Sixth Schedule, specifically Paragraphs 2(1) and 20BB, regarding the administration of tribal areas in Mizoram through the Mara Autonomous District Council (MADC). The Court held that the Governor's power to nominate members to the MADC is valid, and the termination of the previous nominations was upheld. The Court emphasized the legislative powers and administrative autonomy granted to the District Councils under the Sixth Schedule, affirming the legality of the Governor's actions in this context.
