<h1>Assessee Must Comply with Tax Summons; Fixed Timelines for Governors on Bills May Disrupt Constitution</h1> The Supreme Court has ruled that an assessee is legally obligated to comply with summons and respond to show cause notices issued by central or state tax authorities. Additionally, the government has argued before the Supreme Court that imposing fixed timelines on governors or the president to act on bills passed by state assemblies would disrupt constitutional balance by granting powers beyond those constitutionally assigned, potentially causing constitutional disorder. Meanwhile, political controversies continue with opposition allegations of electoral fraud and government criticism over GST reform credit claims, but these do not currently involve judicial intervention.
