  • The Supreme Court ruled on April 8, 2025, that Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi’s act of withholding 10 State Bills was “illegal” and “erroneous.”

  • The Court clarified that Governors and the President do not have arbitrary power to delay or block laws passed by elected State Assemblies.

  • This judgment gave much-needed clarity on the role and limits of Governors in the law-making process.

  • Despite this, the Union government has asked the Supreme Court again for its opinion on the same issue through a Presidential Reference under Article 143.

  • Critics say the Centre should have accepted the verdict or sought a review through normal legal channels, instead of reopening the issue.

  • The misuse of Governors’ powers has led to tensions between the Centre and various State governments.

  • Governors are appointed by the Centre and are not supposed to interfere with the functioning of elected State governments.

  • The Centre could have used the judgment to resolve the controversy and, if needed, made constitutional changes to support it.

  • Instead, the Centre appears to be trying to give itself more power through Governors, which goes against the spirit of the Constitution.

  • The judgment offered a solid base for a national consensus on Governors’ roles.

  • The Centre should accept the judgment and, if needed, hold talks with Chief Ministers and political parties to settle any remaining issues.
