Jurists Fali Nariman, Katju Clash Over BJP Forming Govt in Goa

The two jurists have differing views on Supreme Court allowing Parrikar the chance to win the Goa trust vote.

Eminent jurist Fali S Nariman on Wednesday disagreed with the Supreme Court giving Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar the chance to prove his majority on the floor of the house on Thursday.

Nariman told The Indian Express that the Governor should have called the leader of the single largest party to form the government.

The Governor is under a constitutional duty to first invite the leader of the single largest party in the state, whether or not he or she is the first to stake claim.
