A governors powers and role in the state legislatures affairs are back in focus amid the political crisis in Rajasthan. Congress legislators backing Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot staged a five-hour sit-in on Friday asking governor Kalraj Mishra to call a special assembly session for a floor test. They accused Mishra of acting under pressure and not listening to their demand even as Gehlot expressed confidence of winning the trust vote necessitated by his tussle with his former deputy Sachin Pilot.
Is Mishra bound by the advice of the chief minister-led council of ministers when it comes to convening the assembly session and to what extent can the governor exercise his discretion?
Former Chief Justice of India P Sathasivam said normally, as per the Constitution, the advice is binding but, he added, when there is a dispute about issues such as the number of lawmakers supporting a chief minister, then it is a special case.
