Article 174 (1)

Question before Bench
|
·
Did the
Governor exercise discretion under Article 174 (1) and summon the house?
·
Is he bound by the aid and advice of the Chief Minister and his Council of Ministers
before advancing the Assembly session?
·
Can he
unilaterally use his discretion under Article 174 (1) to summon the House
unless the constitution expressly provides for it?
