Ghose and N.V. Ramana also ruled unanimously that Rajkhowa's decision to advance the Assembly session from January 14, 2016, to December 16 was unconstitutional. Events in Arunachal had descended to such a farcical level that an "Assembly session" was held in a hotel. At a "session" conducted outside the House the next day, 21 rebel Congress MLAs, 11 BJP members and two Independents had "impeached" the Speaker. Late tonight, Tuki assumed charge as chief minister from Arunachal Bhavan in New Delhi, adding a dramatic flourish to a roller-coaster battle whose arena will shift to Itanagar tomorrow. The bench noted that the governor had neither called for a floor test nor entertained any doubt about the confidence enjoyed by the chief minister (Tuki) and his council of ministers.
