Overview

The Supreme Court of India has delivered a new judgment concerning the powers of Governors and the President of India over state bills. This ruling effectively revises an earlier decision, emphasizing the Governor's discretion under Article 200 and significantly limiting judicial review on how Presidents assent to or withhold bills. The verdict signals a shift towards respecting constitutional silence and separation of powers, potentially impacting legislative processes across states.
