The report of the Governor under Article 356 for imposition of President's Rule is not binding on the ______, who makes the final satisfaction.
- Prime Minister
- President
- Chief Justice
- Parliament
Answer: President
Article 356(1): President may act on Governor's report 'or otherwise'. Governor's report is important but not binding; President forms independent satisfaction based on all available material. However, SR Bommai case mandated that satisfaction must be based on objective material, not subjective opinion, and is subject to judicial review.
