Supreme Court Advocates for Childcare and Feeding Rooms in Public Spaces The Supreme Court of India has suggested that the Union Government develop a comprehensive policy addressing the construction of feeding rooms and childcare facilities  in public places. This move aims to ensure that nursing mothers and their children can access basic amenities in a dignified and private manner, reinforcing their fundamental rights under the Indian Constitution. SC Encourages Policy Formulation A bench comprising Justice BV Nagarathna  and Justice N Kotiswar Singh  highlighted the absence of a structured framework to address this pressing issue. The court advised the Centre to propose a policy that could then be implemented across the states, scheduling the next hearing for December 10, 2024.   The apex court emphasized that before issuing formal directions, it was crucial to understand the Centre’s perspective on implementing the petitioner’s demand for childcare and feedi...

Political Turmoil in Haryana: CM Saini Faces Floor Test

Political Turmoil in Haryana: CM Saini Faces Floor Test


Haryana Special Assembly Session: CM Saini to Prove Majority Amid Political Turmoil


The political landscape of Haryana is witnessing upheaval as the state gears up for a special assembly session today. Newly elected Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini is poised to undergo a floor test to prove his majority amidst shifting alliances and resignations. Saini, a Lok Sabha MP from Kurukshetra, replaced his predecessor, senior BJP leader Manohar Lal Khattar, and took oath as the Chief Minister in a ceremony held at Raj Bhawan, Chandigarh.


Legal Context:


The constitutional provision governing the appointment and tenure of Chief Ministers in Indian states is outlined in Article 164 of the Indian Constitution. According to this provision, the Chief Minister is appointed by the Governor of the state and holds office at the pleasure of the Governor. Additionally, Article 75 of the Constitution pertains to the appointment of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers at the national level.


Constitutional Provisions:


The principles of parliamentary democracy and the rule of law enshrined in the Indian Constitution guide the functioning of state governments and legislative assemblies. Article 356 of the Constitution empowers the President to impose President's Rule in a state in case of failure of constitutional machinery, ensuring the stability and integrity of state governance.


Case Laws:


The legality and constitutional validity of floor tests and confidence motions have been subject to judicial review by the Supreme Court of India. In the landmark case of Rameshwar Prasad v. Union of India (2006), the Supreme Court established guidelines for conducting floor tests to determine the majority support of a Chief Minister in the legislative assembly. The court emphasized the importance of upholding democratic principles and ensuring transparency in the process of government formation.


Conclusion:


As the special assembly session unfolds in Haryana, the spotlight remains on the democratic process of government formation and the assertion of majority support by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. The outcome of the floor test will not only determine the stability of the state government but also shape the political trajectory of Haryana in the coming days. Adherence to constitutional provisions, legal principles, and judicial precedents will be pivotal in upholding the integrity and credibility of the democratic process.
