Can the word otherwise include the finding or observations of a high court or the Supreme Court? In the absence of the Governors report recommending Presidents rule, the President can rely on any other material to arrive at the conclusion that the constitutional machinery in a state has collapsed. While considering the question of material, the Supreme Court had held that it is not the personal whim, wish, view or opinion or the ipse dixit of the President dehors the material but a legitimate inference drawn from the material placed before him which is relevant for the purpose. In other words, as the apex court had held, the President has to be convinced of or has to have sufficient proof of information with regard to or has to be free from doubt or uncertainty about the state of things indicating that the situation in question has arisen. The apex court had qualified this by saying that although the sufficiency or otherwise of the material cannot be questioned, the legitimacy of inference drawn from the material is certainly open to judicial review. https://thewire.in/law/andhra-pradesh-high-court-supreme-court-constitutional-machinery-state-government https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/article-356-and-an-activist-judiciary/article33419769.ece?homepage=true
