Tamil Nadu Governor Defies Supreme Court Ruling on Bill

Tamil Nadu Governor Defies Supreme Court Ruling on Bill

The Governor of Tamil Nadu is being criticized for his actions regarding a bill passed by the state's assembly.

The bill was for setting up a university.

The Governor took longer than allowed to act on it, sending it to the President, which is against the law and court rulings.

The Supreme Court previously stated that a governor cannot delay the decision on the bill, or send it to the president if it falls within the legislative powers of the state.

The author feels this is disrespectful to the Constitution and the Supreme Court's orders.
