Joseph, C.J and V.K. Bist, J., struck down the Government of India\u2019s decision to impose President\u2019s Rule in the State of Uttarakhand. The Bench was critical of the decision and termed it as \u201cundermining the foundation of federalism and breeding cynicism in the hearts of citizens who participate in a democratic system\u201d. The Court even went on to state that the Government\u2019s move to impose President\u2019s Rule and its arguments supporting it was riddled with \u201cblatant falsehood\u201d and chided the Government for its \u201cundue interference\u201d in the affairs of the State Assembly. The Bench therefore ordered that the Uttarakhand Government would undergo the floor test in the Assembly on 29<sup>th<\/sup> April, 2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The decision has been welcomed by the State Government and several political factions.
