Ex-Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Nabam Tuki today filed a fresh plea in the Supreme Court against promulgation of President's rule in the state. The Supreme Court yesterday sought the report of Governor Jyoti Prasad Rajkhowa recommending central rule in the state, saying “it is too serious a matter”. The Apex Court then posted the matter for Monday asking the
Governor and the Ministry of Home Affairs to file responses by tomorrow.
The bench allowed the petitioners to amend their plea by Friday. The state assembly is now kept under suspended animation. President Pranab Mukherjee approved central rule for Arunachal Pradesh on Tuesday after the Centre strongly recommended it and also gave an in-person clarification.
