Q96. Which of the following are not necessarily the consequences of the proclamation of the President’s rule in a State?
- Dissolution of the State Legislative Assembly
- Removal of the Council of Ministers in the State
- Dissolution of the local bodies
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
a) 1 and 2 only
b) 1 and 3 only
c) 2 and 3 only
d) 1, 2 and 3
The correct answer is 1 and 3 only.
- Proclamation of President rule
- Article 356 states that the President’s Rule can be imposed on any Indian state if the constitutional machinery fails.
- There are two kinds of this: a). If the President receives a report from the state’s Governor or is otherwise convinced or satisfied that the state’s situation is such that the state government cannot carry on governance under the provisions of the Constitution, b). President’s Rule can be imposed if any state fails to comply with all directions given by the Union on matters it is empowered to.
- The state governor administers the state on behalf of the President, with the assistance of the chief secretary of state or advisors appointed by the President. Hence The removal of the State Council of Ministers is unquestionably the result of the proclamation. Hence, option 2 is incorrect.
- During the president’s rule, the state executive is fired, and the state legislature and local governments are suspended or dissolved. Hence, dissolution is not a ‘necessary’ result. Hence, options 1 and 3 are correct.
