Meanwhile, this question must be coming to your mind that if a chief minister disobeys the order of the supreme court, can the supreme court remove that chief minister from his post. Let's know the answer to this.
Can the supreme court directly remove the Chief Minister?
The supreme court can issue orders related to state governments and their officials. It cannot directly remove a chief minister from his post. The power to remove a chief minister lies only with the governor, who can do so. If a chief minister loses the confidence of the state assembly, then the governor has the power to remove him. Under Article 142 of the Constitution, the supreme court has the power to issue directions and orders for the administration of justice, but it cannot directly remove a Chief Minister.
Under what circumstances are Chief Ministers removed?
As the head of the state, the governor appoints the chief minister and the chief minister takes office before the Governor. A chief minister is accountable to the state assembly, and the governor can remove the chief minister if he loses the confidence of the assembly. If a chief minister loses majority support in the Legislative Assembly, he must resign and the governor can dismiss him. The supreme court can review the actions of the governor, but it cannot directly interfere with the Governor's constitutional powers to appoint or dismiss the Chief Minister.
