SC sets timeline for state governors to decide on bills sent to them

In an unprecedented move, the Supreme Court has deemed 10 Tamil Nadu bills, long delayed by the governor, as assented. The court criticized the governor's actions as unconstitutional, setting strict timelines for governors to approve or reject state bills. Assent must be granted within a month, with a three-month window for reconsideration or presidential referral.
