SC, answering the Presidential Reference, held that under Art. 200 the Governor has three options on a Bill: grant assent, withhold assent and return it to the Legislature, or reserve it for the President; after reconsideration, only the power to withhold (by return) is barred, and the Governor may either assent or reserve. The Governor and President must act "as soon as possible", but no judicially imposed timelines or "deemed assent" are permissible, and Art. 142 cannot be invoked to create such a doctrine. Decisions under Arts. 200 and 201 are non-justiciable before a Bill becomes law, though courts may issue a limited mandamus requiring the Governor to act within a reasonable time. Presidential Reference was disposed of accordingly.
