The Madhya Pradesh High Court dismissed a public interest litigation seeking appointment of a new Governor, terming it misconceived.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has dismissed a public interest litigation that sought the appointment of a new Governor for the state. The court described the petition as misconceived while delivering its order.
According to the court, the incumbent Governor can continue to discharge constitutional duties, making the demand for a fresh appointment legally untenable. The bench observed that the plea did not raise a valid ground warranting judicial intervention in the matter.
The ruling effectively upholds the existing gubernatorial arrangement in Madhya Pradesh and clarifies that the appointment of a Governor falls within the executive domain, not a matter to be adjudicated through such petitions.
