JUST IN: Nabam Tuki government to be restored in Arunachal Pradesh, says AG.

Earlier in the day, In a major setback to the Bharatiya Janata Party and the government headed by it at the Centre, the Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered restoration of the Congress government in Arunachal Pradesh by quashing all decisions of the governor that had precipitated its fall in January, holding them "violative' of the Constitution.

The apex court's verdict came as a shot in the arm for the Congress, paving the way for the return of its dismissed government headed by Nabam Tuki.

The landmark unanimous judgment by a five-judge bench set aside among other things Governor Jyoti Prasad Rajkhowa's message directing the pre-poning of the session and the manner of holding the proceedings of sixth session of the assembly scheduled from January 14, 2016, to December 16-18, 2015.
