Question

In which decision did the 9 judges of the Supreme Court of India decide that the proclamation of President’s Rule under Article 356 was subject to judicial review?

A.

Sunderlal Patwa v. Union of India

B.

S.R. Bommai v. Union of India

C.

State of Rajasthan v. Union of India

D.

Rameshwar Prasad v. Union of India

Correct option is B

The correct answer is B. In S.R. Bommai v. Union of India (1994), a 9-judge bench of the Supreme Court held that the proclamation of President’s Rule under Article 356 is subject to judicial review. The Court ruled that President’s Rule cannot be imposed arbitrarily and can be struck down if it is mala fide or an abuse of power. This case strengthened federalism and constitutional democracy by ensuring checks on executive overreach.
