https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=781960 SC, on a Presidential Reference, held that under Article 200 a Governor has three options on a Bill: assent, withhold assent and return to the Legislature, or reserve it for the President. After reconsideration by the Legislature, the Governor cannot withhold assent but may either assent or reserve the Bill for the President, irrespective of amendments. The Governor and President must act "as soon as possible," but courts cannot prescribe fixed timelines or create "deemed assent," even under Article 142. Decisions under Articles 200 and 201 are non-justiciable before a Bill becomes law, though courts may issue limited directions requiring the Governor to act under Article 200 within a reasonable time without examining the merits. Presidential Reference was disposed of. en-us Thu, 20 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 21 Nov 2025 18:24:47 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=781960 SC, on a Presidential Reference, held that under Article 200 a Governor has three options on a Bill: assent, withhold assent and return to the Legislature, or reserve it for the President.
