The Supreme Court on Monday issued notices to the Centre and Bihar governor accepting that former National Democratic Alliance legislators challenging the decision to dissolve the Assembly 'have made out a case for hearing'.

The court repeatedly asked as to what all materials were transmitted to the President for his subjective satisfaction before dissolution of the Bihar Assembly under Article 356 of the Constitution.

The court asked the Centre and Bihar governor to file their responses within three weeks.
