The state government has sought direction from the top court to declare the governor's decision and "all consequential acts arising therefrom" as illegal, patently unconstitutional, and void ab-initio.

It has also sought the court to direct the governor to act under Article 200 (grant of assent) of the Constitution in accordance with the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers.
