Breach of Article 167(b)- Government of Arunachal Pradesh's no reply to the Governor’s letters on issues of public interest
Q. Article 167 deals with- Published on 27 Jan 16a. Appointment of governor
b. Council of ministers to aid and advise governor
c. Power of governor to grant pardons, etc.
d. Duties of chief minister to furnish information to Governor
ANSWER: Duties of chief minister to furnish information to Governor
The Union government also felt that there was flouting of Article 167(b) of the Constitution as the government of Arunachal Pradesh was not responding to the Governor’s letters on issues of public importance. This shows grounds for breakdown of constitutional machinery in state.
