SC says not fair after Centre claims 90% bills cleared in a month since 1970
The Daily Guardian
|September 11, 2025
The Centre on Wednesday told the Supreme Court that 90 per cent of the bills passed by state assemblies since 1970 have received gubernatorial assent within a month whereas assents were withheld by governors only in 20 instances of the total 17,150 bills.
A five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice B R Gavai, hearing the presidential reference on whether the court could impose timelines for governors and the President to deal with bills passed by assemblies, objected to the Centre's move, saying "it will not be fair to other side as they were not allowed to refer to any such data".
