Supreme Court clears 10 pending bills in big rap to Tamil Nadu Governor, Stalin says 'historic verdict'

New Delhi/Chennai: The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued a sharp rebuke to Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi for delaying his decision on several bills passed by the state legislature, calling his actions unconstitutional and a violation of his mandated role under the Constitution. A bench comprising Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan ruled that the Governor's move to reserve 10 bills for the President's consideration — after they had already been returned and re-passed by the state Assembly — went against Article 200 of the Constitution, which governs the Governor’s assent to bills.
