NEW DELHI: Centre on Tuesday contended before Supreme Court that its recent ruling in Tamil Nadu governor’s case, which fixed a time period for
President and governors
to take decisions on bills, does not address all aspects of the
legal battle
between Kerala govt and its governor.
Kerala govt counsel
K K Venugopal
told a bench of Justices P S Narasimha and Joymalya Bagchi that the issue raised by it stood addressed by SC’s recent verdict. “Matter covered by the recent judgment. The issue is what is the time limit for reference to the President. That is held to be three months… based on a Govt of India circular,” Venugopal said.
Kerala government
had approached SC against the governor for sitting on bills passed by the state assembly in 2024.
Attorney general R Venkataramani
and solicitor general Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, however, told the bench that certain aspects were not covered by SC’s judgment and would need to be examined. “Judgment does not cover certain issues of this case on facts. We would like to show those differences,” the AG said.
