1. State files plea against Governor in SC
The Tamil Nadu government has moved a writ petition in the Supreme Court against Governor R.N. Ravi for creating a “constitutional deadlock” by inexplicably delaying assent to crucial Bills passed by the Legislature and stymieing day-to-day governance.
The State said the Governor had positioned himself as a political rival to the legitimately elected government. His inactions had caused an impasse between the constitutional head of the State and the elected government of the State, the petition said.
