Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin hailed the recent Supreme Court judgment against the state’s Governor as “historic.” The judgment came after the Governor, Banwarilal Purohit, refused to accept the recommendation of the state’s council of ministers to release seven convicts serving life sentences for the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. The Chief Minister stated that the judgment reaffirms the principles of constitutional governance and upholds the rights of elected representatives. The ruling has been seen as a victory for the state government and a blow to the Governor’s discretionary powers. The decision has significant implications for the relationship between the Governor and the elected government in Tamil Nadu. The court’s ruling is expected to set a precedent for future interactions between state governments and Governors across India. The judgment has been widely praised by political leaders and legal experts for upholding the principles of democracy and the rule of law. This development marks a significant moment in India’s constitutional history and has sparked discussions about the role of Governors in the country’s federal structure. The ruling is likely to have far-reaching consequences for the functioning of state governments and the powers of Governors in India.
