Governors must heed the constitutional bounds of office, as underlined by SC in TN governor case

The Supreme Court's verdict striking down Tamil Nadu governor RN Ravi's decision to effectively block 10 re-enacted state bills by asking for presidential assent is a landmark moment — especially at a time when a number of governors are battling allegations of overreach in states run by outfits opposed to the BJP.

The decision of the court to lay down specific timelines — for withholding assent or reserving a bill for presidential consideration — augurs well for India's federal structure.

Politically, the apex court's judgement is an unequivocal victory for chief minister MK Stalin and the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, with less than a year to go for assembly polls.
