Apex court to hear Centre's plea on Uttarakhand at 3.30 p.m.

The Supreme Court is likely to hear at 3.30 p.m. on Friday the Centre's plea challenging the Uttarakhand High Court verdict quashing President's Rule in the state.

The BJP-led central government suffered a setback on Thursday when the Uttarakhand High Court set aside President's Rule in the state, restoring status quo ante with Congress leader Harish Rawat as the chief minister.
