- The governor’s power to summon, prorogue and dissolve the House should be only on the advice of the council of ministers and not at his own.
- It was the 2016 Supreme Court judgment in the case of Nabam Rebia v Deputy Speaker.
- The judgment, however, also held that if the governor has reasons to believe the council of ministers has lost the confidence of the House, he/she can ask the chief minister to prove the majority.
- The Constitution’s Articles 163 and 174 are relevant in the context of the governor’s powers to convene the state assembly.
