Can Supreme Court Set Deadline For President?
President Droupadi Murmu has referred 14 questions to the Supreme Court, seeking clarity on the constitutional validity of judicially imposed timelines for the President and Governors to act on state bills. The controversy first arose when Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi delayed assent to 10 state bills, some since 2020, prompting the Tamil Nadu government to challenge his inaction in the Supreme Court. On April 8, the court deemed the delay unconstitutional, setting timelines and declaring the bills assented. Can the Supreme Court set deadlines for the President?
