Governor has no role to play in issues concerning Anti-Defection Law: SC

The Supreme Court has said that a Governor has no role to play in issues concerning the Anti-Defection Law, which it said is the Speaker's domain.  Critically examining a direction of Arunachal Governor J P Rajkhowa that the party-wise position in the state Assembly



should not be disturbed, a five-judge Constitution Bench headed by Justice J S Khehar Thursday said that the Governor cannot ask that a particular party-wise composition be maintained, as it would amount to interference in the working sphere of the Speaker.
