New Delhi: Jharkhand
Vikas Morcha chief Babulal Marandi Tuesday moved the Supreme Court seeking
dismissal of the Shibu Soren government, 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's 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.
