Constitutional Interpretation and Governors’ Fancies

• The law officer argued that if the Assembly re-passed a Bill, the Governor would be bound to grant assent.

• The Governor could not withhold the Bill, but could refer it to the President on the grounds of repugnancy.

• The law officer argued that high Constitutional authorities, including the President and Governors, were presumed to act within the law and uphold their dignity.

• The Chief Justice questioned whether the expectations of the Founding Fathers and Mothers regarding these Constitutional functionaries had been fulfilled.

• Justice Narasimha argued that constitutional interpretation cannot be idealistic and had to consider present-day realities.

• The Chief Justice referred to cases filed under the anti-defection law (the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution), which had changed over the years.

• The Chief Justice dismissed instances where Governors exercised discretion, leading to litigation in the apex court.

Judicial Oversight of Governors is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
