Arunachal Pradesh Governor was not the aggrieved party, the Supreme Court said on Monday as it focussed on the decisions of Governor JP Rajkhowa to advance the Assembly session and fix the agenda of the House.
"In the facts of the case, the aggrieved party is either the Congress party or the MlAs (who had been disqualified by Speaker Nabam Rebia), then how does the Governor comes into picture, he is not aggrieved by anything," a five-judge constitution bench headed by Justice J S Khehar said.
The bench did not agree with the submission that the Speaker was under clout and hence, Governor was justified in fixing the agenda that the House should first decide as to whether Rebia enjoyed majority support as the Speaker or not.
