The Supreme Court of India has established a three-month deadline for the President to decide on bills reserved by governors, a ruling that aims to enhance the accountability of the governor's office and uphold parliamentary democracy. This decision comes in the context of a case involving Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi, who has withheld assent for ten bills. The court's ruling was inspired by provisions in the constitutions of Pakistan and the United States, emphasizing that governors must act within specified timelines when dealing with state assembly bills. The court stated that any breach of these timelines could be subject to judicial review. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has expressed confidence in achieving a favorable resolution regarding the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) issue, drawing parallels with the recent Supreme Court verdict. In response to the ruling, the Tamil Nadu government is reportedly preparing to file a resolution in the state assembly to demand greater autonomy, reflecting concerns over the central government's influence on state matters. Additionally, the Centre is considering a review petition against the Supreme Court's decision, raising questions about the balance of power between state and federal authorities.
