The special session held in June was an extension of the Budget Session held in March this year.
“Any attempt to cast doubt on the session of the legislature would be fraught with great perils to democracy,” said the Court
The Speaker, who has been recognized as the guardian of the privileges of the houses and the constitutionally recognized authority, was acting well within his jurisdiction in adjourning the house sine die, the Court added.
The convening of the House on June 19 and 20 was within the ambit of the rules of procedure of business and conduct of the Vidhan Sabha, the top Court said.
“Casting doubt on the validity of the house of sessions is not a constitutional option available to the Governor,” the Court further held.
