Supreme Court criticizes TN Governor for reserving bills, warning against misuse of Governors by the Centre.
Kerala Ministers and leaders of the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) on Tuesday (April 8, 2025) welcomed the intense criticism made by the Supreme Court against Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi and said the apex court's verdict is a blow in the face of the Centre, which allegedly tries to use Governors as their tools.
The apex court has came down heavily on Mr. Ravi and said his reserving 10 bills for the consideration of President was against constitutional provisions.
A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan said, "Action of Governor to reserve the 10 bills for President is illegal and arbitrary and thus the action is set aside."
Hailing the verdict, Kerala Ministers P Rajeev and K Rajan said the Supreme Court has “upheld the Constitution and democracy of the country.”
"It is a clear warning against the Governors who try to sabotage the people's verdict through anti-democratic and anti-constitutional methods and the union government which tries to use them in the same way," Me. Rajeev, Kerala Industries and Law Minister, told reporters here.
Mentioning a similar case filed by Kerala in Supreme Court against the actions of former Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, the Minister said almost all arguments made by the State were covered in the Tamil Nadu’s plea also.
In Kerala, some bills were reserved for 13, 18 and even up to 23 months (by the previous governor), he said.
