Governor's absolute discretion on bills means negating people's will: West Bengal in Supreme Court

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 3 September 2025 ()
West Bengal has cautioned that granting governors the power to decide the fate of bills would undermine states' legislative functions.

The Constitution does not assign governors a dominating position in state legislative or executive functions, according to the TMC government.
