In January 2006, a five-judge Constitution Bench held that the dissolution of the Bihar Legislative Assembly under Article 356 — ordered on the Governor's report that a claimant's majority had been assembled through unconstitutional means — was itself unconstitutional. The majority found the Governor had acted on unverified apprehension rather than objective material, and clarified that the personal immunity Article 361 gives the Governor does not immunise the action from judicial review. The Court nonetheless declined to restore the dissolved Assembly, given how far fresh elections had already proceeded.
