RR (Reading out B.R. Ambedkar’s comments on the scope of the authority of the President under Art. 356) - There has been a clear transgression of the powers that have been accorded to the President which can be exercised during President’s Rule. It cannot be a wanton, arbitrary and unauthorised act. Art. 356 is for the purpose of maintaining the Constitutional rule. Here, it was for the maintainability of Constitution of India and that of J&K. They have used the proclamation, not for the preservation, but for doing away with the Constitution of J&K.
