New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday started examining constitutional schemes on the scope of discretionary powers of a governor, amid continuing month-long impasse over Nabam Tuki-led Congress government in Arunachal Pradesh.

The high-voltage hearing began with the submissions of senior advocate Kapil Sibal, who listed out legal questions, including the governor’s power to convene Assembly session without aid and advice of the government, for adjudication by a five-judge constitution bench headed by Justice J.S. Khehar.
