In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of India has taken a significant step regarding the delayed approval of 10 Tamil Nadu bills by the state governor, deeming them as assented. The court rebuked the governor’s unconstitutional delay and has now established clear timelines for governors to either approve or reject state bills promptly. According to the new guidelines, governors must grant their assent within a month of receiving the bills, with an additional three-month period allowed for reconsideration or referral to the President if needed. This ruling marks a crucial development in streamlining the legislative process and ensuring timely implementation of state laws.
