Just in: Centre agrees for a floor test in Uttarakhand. The floor test will take place under the Supreme Court's supervision. Attorney General Mukuk Rohatgi (pictured) says the floor test will be held in a few days after modalities are worked out. Uttarakhand is under President's Rule for the last two months and the floor test could possibly end the deadlock that has put the state in disarray.

Accepting the suggestion made by the Attorney General, the division bench said that if the government does decide to hold a floor test, it would subserve the cause of democracy.

Shifting its stand on the Supreme Court's suggestion for an immediate floor test in the Uttarakhand Assembly, the Centre on Wednesday said it was "seriously considering" it for serving the cause of democracy.

Today, the attorney general asked the Supreme Court to appoint an observer and tells the SC that there should be one agenda and observer should be the retired Chief Election Commissioner.
