Nabam Rebia
Supreme Court of India · 2016
The Supreme Court held that the Governor's discretion under Article 163 is limited. The Governor cannot advance (prepone) an Assembly session or fix its agenda without the aid and advice of the Chief Minister and Council of Ministers, and his actions are open to judicial review. The Court also held that a Speaker facing a pending removal notice should not decide disqualification petitions under the Tenth Schedule. It restored the status quo ante and reinstated the Nabam Tuki government, which makes this a landmark case on federalism and the office of the Governor.
