10 Bills of Tamil Nadu government were approved
In April this year, a bench of 2 judges of the Supreme Court approved 10 Bills of the Tamil Nadu government pending with the Governor and the President. The court had also set a time limit for the decision of the Governor or the President. The court had said that if he does not take the decision in the stipulated time, the state government can come to the court.
President sent 14 questions to Supreme Court
The President had sent 14 questions to the Supreme Court regarding this decision of the Supreme Court. Chief Justice BR Gawai has constituted a 5-judge bench for hearing them, the rest of its members are- Justice Surya Kant, Justice Vikram Nath, Justice PS Narasimha and Justice AS Chandurkar.
Hearing will start from August 19
The hearing will begin on August 19. Both sides will get a chance to speak 4-4 days. The hearing will be completed on 10 September. In a detailed reply to 93 pages filed before the hearing, the Central Government has said:-
* The Constitution has divided the powers for every part of the system.
* The chief of the executive is done to decide on the bills, but it is a work related to the legislature. The intervention of the judiciary in the work of this specific nature will be wrong.
* Constitution makers did not keep the deadline for taking decisions.
* The Supreme Court has been given special power under Article 142, but using it, the Supreme Court cannot say that the Bill pending with the Governor/President should be considered approved.
* The governor cannot be made a side in any case.
* Provision of hearing in a bench of at least 5 judges on the question of constitutional importance, ordering a bench of 2 judges is wrong.
* The petition of the Center and the state dispute is filed under Article 131. The state cannot file a petition using Article 32 available for citizens.
