NGO, India Collective Trust has moved Supreme Court seeking a declaration from the Court that the Constitutional machinery in the State of West Bengal has broken down so that President’s rule can be imposed in the State under Article 356 of the Constitution.<\/span><\/p>\n

The petition has been filed in the wake of widespread violence reported from across the State by followers of All India Trinamool Congress against members of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after the results of Assembly elections were declared on May 2.<\/span><\/p>\n

Declare that the Constitutional machinery in the State of West Bengal has broken down within the meaning of Article 356 in order for his Excellency the President to take appropriate action under the said Article,” <\/strong>the petitioner prayed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The petitioner association also sought directions to constitute a Special Investigation Team headed by a retired Supreme Court judge to look into involvement of politicians, if any, in the targeted pogrom in West Bengal.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Further the plea, filed drawn by advocate<\/span>J Sai Deepak\u00a0and filed through advocate\u00a0Suvidutt MS urged the Court to direct Central government to deploy CRPF and army to control the violence and restore law and order in the State.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The petition stated that it came across several disturbing news reports and articles showing heinous offences specifically targeting towards members and supporters of the political parties that opposed the ruling party in the State election.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“It has come to the attention of the Petitioner based on credible news reports that since the declaration of the election result in West Bengal on 02.05.2021, several miscreants and violent elements belonging to the victorious political party have wreaked havoc and have created a state of unrest by committing heinous offences of, inter alia, bombing, murder, gang rape, outraging of modesty of women, arson, kidnapping, loot, vandalism and destruction of public property,” the plea said.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The petitioner contended that West Bengal government has neglected its duties to either pass any directions to the State police authorities or to take any other measures to maintain law and order in the State of West Bengal.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“As such, the actions of the state of West Bengal herein have been instrumental in failing to uphold the principles of democracy,” the petition said.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
The petition also sought directions for setting up a special court to adjudicate and dispose of matters pertaining to the prosecution of political miscreants and\/or any individuals involved in the commission of offences.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It was further submitted that there has been grave violation of the fundamental right to freedom of expression together with the fundamental right to life and liberty as enshrined under Articles 19 and 21 of the Constitution of India.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The association substantiated the need for an urgent intervention from the top court on the ground that “situation in West Bengal has become so volatile and politically charged, with severe consequences against the lives and liberty of individuals.”<\/span><\/div>\n

What is president’s rule<\/span><\/strong>(Article 356)?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
President\u2019s Rule refers to the suspension of a state government and the imposition of direct rule of the Centre.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The central government takes direct control of the state in question and the Governor becomes its constitutional head.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Vidhan Sabha is either dissolved or prorogued. Such a situation forces the Election Commission to conduct a re-election within six months.<\/span><\/div>\n
How is President’s rule imposed in a state?<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
Article 356 of the Constitution of India gives the President of India the power to impose this rule on a state on the advice of the Union Council of Ministers.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There are some conditions that the President has to consider before imposing the rule:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If the President is satisfied that a situation has arisen in which the government of the state cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The state government is unable to elect a leader as chief minister within a time prescribed by the Governor of that state.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There’s a breakdown of a coalition leading to the chief minister having a minority support in the House, and the CM fails to prove majority in the given period of time.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Loss of majority in the Assembly due to a vote of no-confidence in the House.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Elections postponed on account of situations like natural disasters, war or epidemic.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Does the President’s rule impact people?<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
No, it does not. However, once the President’s rule has been imposed on a state, no major government decisions can be made.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
No major policy decisions can be implemented nor can any project be sanctioned till the time President’s rule is revoked and the next government is formed.<\/span><\/div>\n
What is the duration of the President’s rule?<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Proclamation of President\u2019s Rule under Article 356 of the Constitution stands for six months. This timeframe can be extended up to three years, in phases.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
President’s Rule can be revoked at any time by the President and this does not require Parliament’s approval.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
According to the 44th Amendment Act of 1978, President’s rule can only be extended over a year every 6 months under the following conditions:<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
The Election Commission certifies that elections cannot be conducted in the state concerned.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There is already a national emergency throughout India or in the whole or any part of the state.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What option do the elected representatives of the state have?<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
In case President\u2019s Rule has been evoked because of a breakdown of coalition or a hung Assembly, it is not the end of the road for any political party.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With the Assembly in suspended animation, stakeholders can approach the Governor any time with the required proof of support to prove majority on the floor of the House.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The EC notification on the election is treated as the new Assembly having been constituted.<\/span><\/div>\n
