Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the actions of the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh in summoning the Legislative Assembly were unconstitutional as they were taken without the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers, violating Article 163 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that the Governor's role is to act on the advice of the Chief Minister and the Council, and any deviation from this principle undermines the constitutional framework. Consequently, the Court struck down the Governor's order and message, affirming the need for adherence to constitutional norms in legislative processes.
