Even suits instituted by the State against other States or the Centre under Article 131 may be withdrawn or claims against it conceded.
The power of a State Assembly to ratify Constitution amendments may be exercised by Parliament.

It said the initial exercise of the power is limited to taking over the executive and legislative functions without dissolving the Assembly. Once Parliament approves the proclamation, the Assembly may be dissolved.
Courts have always emphasised that States remain ‘supreme’. They are not “mere appendages of the Centre”. There are certain functions that the States alone can do.
