Supreme Court Issues Notice On Kerala's Petition Against President's Withholding Of Assent For Bills & Governor's Reference

The Supreme Court has issued a notice in response to Kerala's petition challenging the President's refusal to assent to state bills. The Kerala government argues that the President's inaction on legislative bills contravenes constitutional obligations, delaying the implementation of key legislation. Kerala's petition highlights the Governor's role in referring bills to the President and contends that this process undermines the legislative intent and effectiveness of state governance. The Court's notice signals a significant step towards resolving this dispute over executive authority and legislative autonomy.
