(File Photo- PTI) Can a deadline for the President or Governor on the approval of the Supreme Court Bills? In fact, this question has started to arise since the Supreme Court’s decision on the petition filed by the Tamil Nadu government against its Governor. On this decision on April 8, President Draupadi Murmu has sought a formal opinion from the Supreme Court on this. The President, while asking 14 very important questions under Article 143 (1) of the Constitution, has made it clear that there is no system in the Constitution which decides the deadline for approval or renewal on the bills. The President said that the Governor and the President take decisions on the bills under Articles 200 and 201 of the Constitution, but these articles do not determine any deadline or procedure anywhere. He also said that this prudent decision of the Governor and the President is based on multilateral aspects like federalism, uniformity of laws, national security and balance between powers. Disagreeing with the Supreme Court’s decision, a bench of Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice R. Mahadevan of the Supreme Court said in its 415 -page judgment on 8 April that the Governor would have to take a decision within three months of getting the bill. If the Legislative Assembly again passes the same bill and sends it, then the governor will have to approve within a month. At the same time, the President will also have to decide on that bills within three months. Objection to the concept of ‘Demand Assent’ also objected to the court to tell the 10 pending bills of Tamil Nadu as ‘Deemed Assent’ (it would be believed) and said that it is against the original spirit of the Constitution. He said, ‘There is no concept like dend assent in the constitution. It limits the constitutional powers of the President and the Governor. The President also asked the Supreme Court whether Article 142 can be used in cases which are already clearly defined in the constitution or laws? This article gives special rights to the judiciary to ensure justice. Concern on Article 32 vs Article 131, the President also questioned why the State Governments are going directly to the Supreme Court under Article 32 instead of Article 131 regarding constitutional disputes between the Center and the state, which is basically to protect the fundamental rights of citizens. The President asked the Supreme Court, these 14 questions when a bill is introduced before a governor under Article 200, what constitutional options are available before him? Are the Governor bound by the help and advice of the Council of Ministers in the use of all the options available under Article 200? Can a judicial testing of the constitutional discretion conducted by the Governor under Article 200? Does Article 361 impose a complete ban on the judicial review of the works done under Article 200 of the Governor? When the Constitution does not mention any time limit or procedure for the Governor, can the deadline or procedure be determined for the exercise of their rights under Article 200 through judicial orders? Can a judicial testing of the constitutional discretion conducted by the President under Article 201? When the Constitution does not mention any time limit or procedure for the President, can a deadline and procedure be determined through judicial orders for the use of discretion made by the President under Article 201? Is it mandatory for the President to take opinion from the Supreme Court under Article 143 when a Bill reserves a bill for the consent of the President? Can the decisions made by the Governor and the President under Article 200 and 201 be subject to judicial review before the law comes into force? Can the courts decide on the content of a bill when it is not yet a law? Can the use of constitutional orders and powers be replaced in any form under Article 142? Does the bill passed by the State Assembly fall under the category of law without the consent of the Governor? Whether it is not mandatory for any bench of the Supreme Court to decide whether the question before it is no important legal question related to the interpretation of the Constitution, and should it be sent before a bench of at least five judges? Are the powers under Article 142 of the Supreme Court limited only to the procedure law or these powers are detailed until giving orders/orders contrary to the fundamental or procedure provisions of the Constitution or the current law? Does the Constitution prevents the Supreme Court from using any jurisdiction other than a lawsuit under Article 131 to resolve the dispute between the Central Government and the State Governments? This question of President Murmu is being considered a major step towards clarifying the jurisdiction and obligations of constitutional institutions. Now it will be seen what opinion the Supreme Court gives on these 14 questions and whether it brings any permanent constitutional clarity about the legislative role of the governors and the President.
