The office of the Governor, as envisaged by the framers of the Constitution has a lot of important functions to perform and is of paramount importance. In a Federal setup like India, Centre-State relations carry a lot of importance and weightage in governance. A carry-forward of the British era, the institution of the Governor is not merely a figurehead, but performs the important function of being an intermediary between the Centre and the State. Unfortunately, the post has lost much respect and consideration nowadays. Sarojini Naidu, the first woman Governor of India once famously remarked that she felt like “a bird in a golden cage”. It has become a resting place for old politicians. The Governors are appointed by the President under Article 156, based on recommendations of the Council of Ministers at the Centre, effectively giving a lot of power to the Centre in matters of gubernatorial appointments, which allows the Centre to operate a free will in a capricious manner in appointment and removal of Governors. The recommendations of Commissions constituted for the purpose of suggesting alternatives to the already existing situation were seldom incorporated. The above problems pose a critical situation not only for the Federal system of India, but also attack at the very root of fair and democratic procedure. The paper aims to look at these problems of appointment of Governors, and come up with recommendations in order to tackle this falling sanctity in hope

For most of the years since independence, the federal government has been guided by the Indian National Congress (INC). The two largest political parties have been the INC and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Although the two parties have dominated Indian politics, regional parties also exist. From 1950 to 1990, barring two brief periods, the INC enjoyed a parliamentary majority. The INC was out of power between 1977 and 1980, when the Janata Party won the election due to public discontent with the corruption (promulgation of Emergency with stringent forces) of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. In 1989, a Janata Dal-led National Front coalition, in alliance with the Left Front coalition, won the elections but managed to stay in power for only two years.

Abstract: The Constitution of India has defined and declared the common goal for its citizens as- “to secure to all the citizens of India, Justice-social, economic and political, liberty; equality and fraternity.” The eternal value of constitutionalism is the rule of law which has three facets i.e., rule by law, rule under law and rule according to law. The concept of Lok-Adalat fulfills the desires of constitution drafters in all possible ways. Behind the concept of Lok- Adalat is the ancient concept of settlement of dispute through Mediation, Negotiation or through other arbitral process popularly known as decision of ‘Nyay- Panch’ or ‘People’s Court’.
