Congress leaders today informed the Supreme Court that they have learnt about the recommendation of Arunachal Pradesh Governor J P Rajkhowa to lift the President's Rule in the state.
Senior lawyers F S Nariman and Kapil Sibal, who represent former Chief Minister Nabam Tuki, former Speaker Nabam Rebia and others, said there was a plan to swear-in a new government in the state.
Nariman told a five-judge Constitution bench headed by Justice J S Khehar that they have filed a fresh application in this regard as there is apprehension that the Centre and the Governor may go ahead with this plan.
