The Kerala government will add a political touch to its legal campaign against Governor Arif Mohammed Khan for “sleeping over” the Bills passed by the Kerala Legislature by asking one of the CPI(M) legislators to join the government in moving the Supreme Court.
The petition, along with a Special Leave Petition by the government against an earlier order of the Kerala High Court rejecting a writ petition asking the Governor to act on the Bills, will be filed in the Supreme Court when it resumes functioning after the Puja holidays on October 30 .
The writ petition, to be filed by a party MLA, will highlight the violations of his rights as a member of the 15th Legislative Assembly. The legislator will point out that the Governor had been “sleeping over” a few important Bills passed by the Assembly and thus stalling the democratic process and functions of the State government.
