Plea filed in Allahabad High Court on reinduction

Social activist Nutan Thakur has filed a petition before the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court against reinduction of Gayatri Prajapati in the council of ministers.

In her petition, she has said that Mr Prajapati was removed as minister on serious corruption charges after the Allahabad high court ordered a CBI enquiry against him.

She had said that a minister is removed from office under provisions of Article 164 of the Constitution when he loses the pleasure of the governor. When Mr Prajapati was removed as minister, he had lost the pleasure of the governor and hence, he cannot be re-inducted in the ministry unless the facts and reasons on which he had lost the pleasure of the governor are nullified.
