The Gauhati High Court had heard a petition by Bodoland People’s Front challenging the appointment of the council’s chief and a few others
The Gauhati High Court has asked the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) to put its governance on hold three days after a three-party alliance forged by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had taken charge.
The order by the single-judge Bench of Justice Suman Shyam was based on a petition by leaders of the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF), which had emerged as the single largest party in the BTC elections held on December 7 and December 10.

GUWAHATI: Just days after a BJP-led coalition had grabbed power in Assam’s autonomous Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), the Gauhati High Court issued an order asking the council to maintain “status quo” on its administrative works.
The order, passed by the single-judge bench of Justice Suman Shyam on Friday, comes at a time when the newly-elected council members are yet to begin discharging duties. The next hearing on the case has been fixed for December 22.
Earlier, former BTC chief, Hagrama Mohilary, who is also the president of Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) and some of his party colleagues had filed a writ petition in the court challenging the constitutional validity of the appointment of the council’s Chief Executive Member (CEM) and other members.
