PUNISHMENT / IMPLICATIONS (if applicable): - If a governor acts contrary to the advice of the council of ministers without valid reasons, it may lead to constitutional challenges. SOURCE: - Constitution of India, Article 163 and Supreme Court Judgment in "Shamsher Singh vs. State of Punjab" (1974).
