Supreme Court: Governments can’t sit on bills and veto legislative action
![IndiaTimes](https://cdn.newsserve.net/p/indiatimes.jpg)
The Supreme Court has sought to clearly delineate the boundary of action by governors when a bill passed by a state assembly is sent for their assent by ruling that, being titular heads of states, they don’t have the power to veto legislative actions of elected governments or sit indefinitely on bills duly passed by the legislature. The November 10 judgment, passed on a plea by the Mann government in Punjab against governor Banwarilal Purohit, was uploaded on Thursday on the SC website.
