The S. R. Bommai and Others vs Union of India case is a landmark judgment by the Supreme Court of India that dealt with the issues related to the arbitrary imposition of President’s Rule in states under Article 356 of the Constitution.
The case laid down strict guidelines for the exercise of powers under Article 356, emphasizing that the power is not absolute and is subject to judicial review. The judgment stated that the majority of a government should be tested on the floor of the Assembly and not through the Governor’s opinion or President’s decision.
