Issues:
President's rule is anti-democratic and is a threat to the federal system.
Many a times, it has been used as a pretext to dissolve state governments ruled by political opponents.
While sending a report to the Centre, the Governor is not supposed to go by the advice of the state cabinet i.e. Governor exercises his or her own discretion. However, the President has to go by the advice of the Union Cabinet.
In the SR Bommai case, the SC ruled that the courts can't question the Union Cabinet's advice to the President. But they can question the material behind the satisfaction of the President regarding breakdown of Constitutional machinery.
