SC asks Punjab governor to decide on granting assent to Bills passed by Assembly
PTI, Nov 24, 2023, 11:08 AM IST
The Supreme Court has directed Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit to decide on the Bills passed by the legislative assembly during its “constitutionally valid” session held on June 19 and 20, saying the governor’s power cannot be used to “thwart the normal course of lawmaking”.
The top court, in its November 10 judgement which was uploaded on Thursday night, decided on the plea of the AAP government in Punjab which alleged the governor was not granting his assent to four bills which were passed by the assembly.
The Punjab government had also sought a judicial declaration that the assembly session held on June 19 and 20 was “legal and that the business transacted by the House is valid”.
