SC Allows Kerala to Withdraw Pleas Against Guv Over Bills
The Supreme Court has allowed the Kerala government to drop its case against the Governor.
The case was about how long the Governor took to approve laws made by the state.
The government decided to stop the case because of a similar case where the court made a ruling about timelines.
Some people in the government tried to stop the case from being dropped, waiting for another decision about who is supposed to approve these laws.
Previously, the Supreme Court was not happy about the Governor delaying his decision on these bills.
The Supreme Court allowed the Kerala government to withdraw its pleas against the Governor.
The pleas concerned delays in approving bills passed by the state assembly.
The withdrawal was sought because the issue was deemed infructuous following a recent judgment in a similar case.
The Attorney General and Solicitor General opposed the withdrawal, wanting to await a decision on a related presidential reference.
The court had previously expressed displeasure over the Governor's delay in acting on bills.
