In the landmark case of S.R. Bommai and Others vs. Union of India (1994), the Supreme Court of India held that the proclamation of President’s Rule under Article 356 is subject to judicial review. The Court ruled that the power under Article 356 is not absolute and can be challenged in court if it is found to be arbitrary, mala fide, or based on irrelevant grounds.
– This judgement significantly restricted the arbitrary use of Article 356 by the central government.
– It established that the reasons for imposing President’s Rule must be justifiable and the President’s decision is not beyond judicial scrutiny.
The Court also stated that the President should exercise the power only after the proclamation has been approved by Parliament, except in cases of extreme urgency. It also restored dissolved state assemblies in some cases.
