SC to hear Uttarakhand Governor’s plea against centre
The Supreme Court on Thursday will take up a first-of-its kind petition by Uttarakhand Governor Aziz Qureshi challenging the Narendra Modi-led NDA government’s push to make him quit the post.
The petition, which may put to test the Centre’s decision to nudge gubernatorial authorities to either resign or to remove them at will, is coming up before a three-judge bench led by Chief Justice R M Lodha. Since the Modi government took charge at Centre, seven Governors were nudged to quit while two were sacked.
Questioning the union home secretary’s “audacity” in calling him up and asking him to put in his papers, Qureshi wondered how a Constitutional office of a Governor can be undermined by a Secretary-level officer in this manner.
