Explanation
★Items 1, 2 and 3 are correct, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
★The S.R. Bommai verdict was delivered by the Supreme Court in 1994.
★It held that the power under Article 356 is not absolute and is subject to judicial review.
★It is a landmark case on centre-state relations and the misuse of President's rule.
★Item 4 is wrong, because after this judgement the imposition of President's rule actually decreased.
★The judgement made arbitrary dismissal of state governments much harder.
★So only the claim of no decrease in Article 356 use is incorrect.
