- 5 years ago
The Supreme Court today issued notice to the Centre on Uttarakhand Governor's plea challenging Narendra Modi government's moves to ease him out of office, bringing the controversy over removal of UPA- appointed Governors under judicial lens.
The apex court also issued notice to Home Secretary Anil Goswami who had allegedly threatened Governor Aziz Qureshi to resign from the post or face removal by Centre.
A bench headed by Chief Justice R M Lodha granted six weeks time to Centre and Goswami to file their response on the allegation levelled by the Governor and referred the case to five-judge Constitution bench observing that interpretation of Article 156(Term of office of Governor) is involved.
Qureshi is the first Governor to move Supreme Court against the Modi government which has sacked two Governors.
