రాష్ట్రపతికి గడువు విధించిన సుప్రీంకోర్టు || Supreme Court sets deadline for President||

#profknageshwar #ProfkNageshwaranalysis #mlcnageshwar #supremecourt #president #tamilnadu #bills #mahadevan In a first, Supreme Court sets deadline for President to decide on bills The Supreme Court, in a first, has said that the President must take a decision within three months on bills referred by governors. The top court's ruling came as it set aside the Tamil Nadu Governor's decision to withhold assent to pending bills on Tuesday. The order was made public on Friday. While delivering the verdict in the Tamil Nadu case, a bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan said the discharge of functions by the President under Article 201 was amenable to judicial review. As per Article 201, when a bill is reserved by a governor, the President shall declare that either he/she assents to the bill or he/she withholds assent therefrom. However, no timeframe is provided in the Constitution. The Supreme Court underscored that the President does not have a "pocket veto" and has to either grant assent or withhold it. "The position of law is settled that even where no time-limit is prescribed for the exercise of any power under a statute, it should be exercised within a reasonable time. The exercise of powers by the President under Article 201 cannot be said to be immune to this general principle of law," the Supreme Court said. The two-judge bench said in case of a delay beyond the three-month period, the appropriate reasons would have to be recorded and conveyed to the concerned state. "We prescribe that the President is required to take a decision on the bills reserved for his consideration by the governor within a period of three months from the date on which such reference is received," the top court said. https://www.indiatoday.in/india/law-n...
