Even the President can go wrong : HC on imposition of President's rule in Uttarakhand
''There is no decision like that of king which can't be subject to judicial review. That's essence of Constitution," the court said while responding to the Centre's submission.
''We are not doubting wisdom of the President, even he can go wrong. Everything is subject to judicial review, you should rejoice at evolution we've had,'' the high court said.
The observation was made by a bench of Chief Justice KM Joseph and Justice VK Bist.
The High court had earlier rapped the Centre for its alleged interference in the affairs of the state.
During a hearing on Monday, the High Court had asked the Centre whether it was not "totally extraneous" for the Union Government to be concerned over the disqualification of nine rebel MLAs and to "interfere" in the affairs of the state which has to be done only in "extraordinary instances".
