Live Law  

A Public Interest Litigation petition was filed before the Calcutta High Court on Tuesday praying for a direction to the Central government to remove Jagdeep Dhankhar as the Governor of West Bengal, claiming that he was acting as the 'mouthpiece of the Bharatiya Janata Party'. Averments in the plea Opining on the conduct of the Governor, the petitioner averred, "The present Hon'ble Governor of West Bengal Mr. Jagdeep Dhankhar is acting as the mouthpiece of Bharatiya Janata Party. The plea also made a reference to the Supreme Court judgment in Rameshwar Prasad v. Union of India wherein the Apex Court had recognised that the Governor was not excused from judicial review simply because he enjoyed such immunity under Article 361 of the Constitution. "Immunity granted ti the Governor under Article 361 does not affect the power of the Court to judicially scrutinise the attack made to the proclamation issued under Article 361 of the Constitution of India on the ground of Mala fides or it being ultra vires", the Supreme Court had held.
