The Central Government can challenge the historic decision of the Supreme Court, which has set a deadline for the Governor and the President to approve the bills passed by the state assemblies. The decision taken in the Tamil Nadu State vs. Governor case on 8 April also limited the President’s powers. After this, the central government is now planning to file a review petition.
With this decision, the Supreme Court has given a deadline of three months to the President on the bills sent by the Governor. In a way, it is like snatching the ‘entire veto’ power of the President. Justice J.B. Pardiwala and Justice R.K. The bench of two judges of Mahadevan recited. Attorney General R. Venkataramani also admitted that the Supreme Court did not give the President an opportunity to express his views before giving a decision on his powers.
Discussion on reconsideration petition started
It is not yet clear what will be challenged in the reconsideration petition. It is not clear whether the central government will review the time limit or reverse the President’s full veto decision. They can also demand reconsideration on the basis that the Center did not get a chance to present its arguments in this matter. This will become clear when the government goes to the Supreme Court. The review petition is being discussed at the highest level of the government and possibly it will be filed in the Supreme Court. After this decision, Attorney General (AG) R. Venkataramani commented that the President should have been heard in the matter.
The argument of the Ministry of Home Affairs was not presented.
A senior official said that a review petition is being prepared, as the Ministry of Home Affairs has not submitted proper and adequate arguments during the discussion. The nodal agency that takes action on references for the bills and makes the President’s decisions to the states, has pointed to the laws in the law.
