1. Governor Ravi’s indefinite holding back of Bills a matter of ‘serious concern’: SC
The Supreme Court said the “constitutional deadlock” created by Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi by inexplicably delaying assent to 12 crucial Bills passed by the Legislature and stymieing day-to-day governance was a “serious concern”.
A three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud issued formal notice to the Union of India through the Home Ministry to respond to the Tamil Nadu government’s petition that the Governor was acting in a manner which “defeats the rights of the people” of the State to welfare legislation.
