Supreme Court questions Bihar over minister serving beyond 6-month constitutional limit

·1 viewsThe Supreme Court has pulled up the Bihar government over a minister who has continued in office beyond the six-month limit mandated by the Constitution. Under Article 164(4), a minister who is not a member of the legislature must secure election within six months of appointment. The court sought an explanation from the state government for allowing this continuation without legislative membership. The matter arose from a petition challenging the minister's reappointment following a change in government. The bench also referred to a previous ruling dealing with similar constitutional provisions to support its scrutiny.
