"We are sorry. We cannot pass any order. We are not here to advise the Governor," said a bench of the Apex Court, headed by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Nuthalapati Venkata Ramana, and dismissed the petition of Dr Jagannath Patil.
While dismissing the petition of Patil, the apex court said that the State Governor is bound by the advice of the council of ministers.
