The top court ruled the bills are now considered having been given the Governor's assent, Mr. Stalin told the Assembly, shortly after the apex court's order.
"We thank and welcome today’s historic judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, reaffirming the legislative rights of State Legislatures and putting an end to the trend of Union government-nominated Governors stalling progressive legislative reforms in Opposition-ruled states," Mr. Stalin, also the DMK President, said in a social media post.
Earlier, the Supreme Court came down heavily on Mr. Ravi and said reservation of 10 Bills by him for consideration of the President was in contravention of constitutional provisions.
A Bench of Justices J.B. Pardiwala and R. Mahadevan said that under Article 200 of the Constitution, the Governor does not possess any discretion and has to mandatorily act on the aid and advice of the council of ministers.
The Chief Minister told the House that many bills that had been sent to the Governor after the Assembly adopted them were returned by Mr. Ravi. They were re-adopted and again sent to him.
