Khan had decided not to allow the assembly to convene to discuss, and pass a resolution against, three controversial farm laws recently passed by the Centre.
In a letter to the chief minister, the governor said he declined the cabinet recommendation for the session because the government did not follow the procedure of 15 days notice period. The governor further argued that the government could not satisfy him about the emergency reason to convene a special season without the notice period, especially when he already gave assent for the Budget session of the assembly that will start on January 8.
The proposed resolution against the Centre farm laws was expected to be supported by every member of the 140-members assembly, except the lone member of the BJP.
According to reports, this is the first time that a governor has refused to give assent to the cabinet decision to convene the state assembly.
Khans decision invited criticism and protest gatherings from both ruling and opposition parties.
In a letter sent to the governor, chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the formers decision goes against the constitution, Supreme Court judgments and established democratic traditions.
Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala called the governors decision as undemocratic.
The resolution will, however, be tabled in the assembly during the budget session.
