The Supreme Court on Wednesday expressed displeasure over Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan. The top court expressed displeasure over Governor Arif 'sitting' on the bills passed by the state legislature for two years. The court said it would consider laying down guidelines as to when the Governor can send bills to the House for the President's assent.
"The Governor has not given any reason for keeping the bills pending," a bench led by CJI DY Chandrachud said. The Supreme Court has asked Governor Khan to meet Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and the minister concerned to discuss the laws. Also said that we hope that some 'political foresight' will work.
A bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud took note of the arguments of Attorney General R Venkataramani, appearing for the Governor, which said that the Governor has "reserved" seven of the eight bills for consideration by the President, while Khan agrees to a bill.
