The Chief Minister was reacting to the Presidential reference made by President Droupadi Murmu to the Supreme Court seeking its opinion on whether the court could invoke its inherent powers under Article 142 of the Constitution to impose timelines and prescribe the manner of conduct of Governors and the President in dealing with the Bills passed by the State Assemblies sent to them either for assent or reserved for consideration.
