Q. Who was SR Bommai in the famous SR Bommai judgment by Supreme Court in 1994?
Answer:
Chief Minister of a State
Notes: S.R. Bommai was the former Chief Minister of Karnataka, whose government was controversially dismissed in 1989 by the central government imposing President's rule in the state by invoking Article 356. Bommai had challenged this decision in courts, leading to the landmark 1994 Supreme Court judgment that ushered in safeguards for protecting rights of states against arbitrary imposition of President's rule.
