When Is President's Rule Imposed?
In practice president's rule has been imposed under different circumstances such as these:
- State Legislature is unable to elect a leader as Chief Minister
- Breakdown of a coalition
- Irretrivable breakdown of law and order
- Rebellion or insurgency in a part of India
- Elections postponed for unavoidable reasons
- Most often, until the mid-1990s, it was been in states due to the misuse of Governor's authority in collusion with the decision of the Government in power at the center (Federal Government). However, after a Historic and Landmark Judgment by the Supreme Court of India in the S. R. Bommai (Ex - Chief Minister of Karnataka) Case, such misuse has reduced drastically.
