New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday issued notice to the Central government on a petition filed by Uttarakhand Governor Aziz Qureshi challenging the procedure followed in securing his resignation in the wake of BJP coming to power.
An apex court bench headed by Chief Justice RM Lodha said the matter would be heard by a five-judge bench as it involved the interpretation of Article 156 of the constitution on the point of the procedure to be followed for seeking removal of the governors in the exercise of the president’s pleasure.
