New Delhi, May 18 Jharkhand Vikas Morcha Chief Babulal Marandi today
moved the Supreme Court seeking dismissal of Shibu Soren government for
accusing him of misusing the constitutional provision for occupying the
post of Chief Minister without being elected to the state
assembly.
Marandi, who was the first Chief Minister of Jharkhand after
the state was carved out from Bihar, accused the JMM chief of misusing the
special provision under Article 164 (4) of the Constitution.

Article 164 (4) enables an unelected person to become Chief
Minister subject to the condition that he/she would get elected to the
Assembly within six months.

Marandi&aposs petition filed through advocate Anurag Kumar
alleged it was the third time that Soren took advantage of the
constitutional provision and has been unable to get himself elected to the
House.

He has sought a direction for the Governor to restrain Soren to
function as a full-fledged Chief Minister and from taking cabinet
decisions on policy matters.

The petition said it has now become impossible for the JMM chief to
get elected to the House as only 42 days are left for him to complete six
months as Chief Minister since he was sworn in on December 30, 2009, while
the Election Commission takes around 47 days to complete the process of
bye-election.
