President's Rule to continue in Uttarakhand, no floor test on Apr 29: SC

April 27, 2016 16:27

The Supreme Court has extended President's Rule in Uttarakhand indefinitely and ruled out a floor test on April 29. The next hearing for the case has been set for May 3. The court had earlier asked the Centre seven tough questions.

The Centre introduced President's Rule on March 27, one day before Harish Rawat was to take a trust vote. The Centre argued that Rawat had lost the right to rule when he presented the state's budget in March and nine Congressmen voted against it, though, it added, it was wrongly declared passed by the Speaker.
