The Supreme Court is deliberating a landmark Presidential Reference on whether Governors have a fixed timeline to assent to bills passed by state legislatures. The bench, led by Chief Justice B.R. Gavai, questioned whether courts should "sit idle" as gubernatorial inaction stalls democratic governance. A ruling is expected soon that could redefine the separation of powers and clarify if such delays are subject to judicial review.

SC: Passing a law by Parliament or State Legislature can't be treated as contempt of court unless it's unconstitutional.

Vice President Dhankhar criticizes Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential timelines, calls Article 142 a "nuclear missile."
