Rajya Sabha deputy, Kapil Sibal, welcomed the Supreme Court on Saturday to establish a timeline for governors to act on the bills approved by state assemblies and said it is a “” historical “verdict for federalism”, since it defines the role of governors.
In a great victory for the Government of Tamil Nadu led by DMK, the Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared 10 bills that were stagnant and reserved by Governor Rn Ravi for the president’s consideration.
The court also established a schedule for governors to act on the bills approved by state assemblies.
Learning the ruling at a press conference here on Saturday, Sibal said this ensures that the federal structure advances under the principles of the Constitution.
The ruling also defines the role of the governor, said Sibal.
“The Supreme Court has recently ruled a historical sentence. It is under discussion because since the BJP government came to power (in the center), the governors have begun to act arbitratingly. Every time the signaling of a factor factor factor factor factor factor is approved. of the governor of the governor of the governor.
This used to happen in states where a party other than the ruling party in the center would be in power, and therefore was a political, he said.
“We had the leg talking about this for years. I have the leg that is against the federal structure. The leaders of the center tried to bring instability: it was in Western Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and many injured. The Supreme Court has ordered against this practice,” said Sibal.
“Ahora, la Corte Suprema ha decidido un período de tres meses para devolver el proyecto de ley. Cuando se aprueba el proyecto de ley, el gobernador debería solicitarlo dentro de un mes. El Fiscal General se opuso a este marco, el marco Be Bee Bean Bete Bete Keante Bete Beerte Bete Beerte Beerte Bean Beant Bente Beerte Bean Tannet Bete Beente Beer Beer Sate sate Sate sate Sate sate sate Sate Sate Sate Sate Sate Sate Sate Sate Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer.
“The governor would have the discretion of sending the bill to the president, but the president would also have to follow the period of time,” said Sibal, added: “This is good for federalism.”
In a first child’s address, the Superior Court set on Tuesday a schedule within which the governor has to act on the bills approved by the state legislature.
The Apex court said there was no expressly specified time limit for the discharge of functions by the governor under article 200 of the Constitution.
“Although there are no prescribed time limits, article 200 cannot be read in a way that allows the governor not to act on the bills presented to him for axes and, therefore, delay, and the essential machinery for the law of the obstacle in the state,” he said.
By fixing the timeline, the bank said, in case of consenting to consent a bill and reserve it for the president with the help and advice of the Council of Ministers, the maximum period would be a month.
In the event that the governor decides to retain the assent without the help and advice of the Council of Ministers, the bills must return to the assembly within three months, he added.
The Superior Court said that if the State Assembly presents the bill after reconsideration, the governor must give him an assent within a period of one month.
The bank warned that any breach of the timeline would make the governor’s inaction subject to judicial review by the courts.
