KalikhoPul’s
Government in Arunachal Pradesh has been dubbed unconstitutional and the
Governor’s decision was also unconstitutional. The
Apex Court upheld the status quo of State Government earlier on 15 December 2015.
It meant that the Congress Government in the
State will be restored because the Congress Government was in existence there
earlier and Nabam Tuki was the Chief Minister of state.
The
5 Judges bench of Supreme Court gave this verdict and were unanimous on the
decision.
Supreme
Court said, ”the call of premature assembly session its procedure both were unconstitutional decision of state governor."
1.
The governor cannot function of his own will setting aside the rules and
regulations of assembly and constitutional provisions.
2.
The cabinet advises governor to work under constitution; but the governor
ignored the advice of cabinet in this case and took decision.
3.
If the governor was confident about the circumstances and wherever he did not
think fit to accept the advice of cabinet; he should refer the matter to the
President -- but he took his own decision.
4.
If the governor seemed that the state government was in short majority, he can
say to prove its majority on floor test in assembly; but he called the assembly
session to discuss the motion against the Speaker.
5.
The governor of state should not be the part of political controversies.
The circumstances that prevailed in the state made the matter wholly political
circus.
The governor of state misused the conferred constitutional powers which he had
vested.
The
Constitution crises in the state began last year when 21 including (2
independent) of the 47 law makers of congress government were rebellion against
his own party Chief Minister in 60 members assembly seats of Arunachal Pradesh.
The matter is between Nabam Tuki and his rival Kalikho Pul. Pul had intended to be the CM of State
replacing Mr. Tuki; consequently the President rule was imposed in the state on
26 January 2016.

Congress
leader Rashid Alvi said on Supreme
Court’s decision, “it is a win of constitution and democracy.” He said that the
Union Government has created such situation which became a threat to democracy
in the country. The Governors of state are functioning on the Guidance of
Centre. The state governors seem the worker of RSS.
