Guv expected to act on Bills within reasonable time: SC
Business Standard
|September 10, 2025
The Supreme Court on Tuesday said governors were expected to act within "reasonable time" even if the term "as soon as possible" was not there in Article 200 that governs powers to assent to Bills passed by the state legislature.
A five-judge Constitution Bench headed by Chief Justice B.R. Gavai, hearing arguments on the eighth day on the presidential reference, whether the court could impose timelines for governors and President to deal with bills passed by assemblies, reiterated it would only interpret the Constitution and not examine facts of individual cases.
Article 200 governs powers of Governor regarding Bills passed by the state legislature, allowing them to either assent to the Bill, withhold assent, return the Bill for reconsideration or reserve the Bill for the consideration of President.
