A lawyer for the state of Punjab said that the governor of Punjab thinks the election of the Chief Minister of Punjab was not done in accordance with the Constitution.”

LHC Chief Justice: “What if the governor of Punjab doesn’t want to take the oath? What will happen then?” In order for the governor not to give an oath, he needs to give a good reason.
