Supreme Court Counters Union Government’s Argument on President’s Assent Time Limit

• The Supreme Court argues that the President has no specific time limit for granting assent to Bills or proposed laws.

• The Union government relies on the historic Constituent Assembly debates to prove the President is not fettered by specific time limits.

• The Supreme Court argues that a time limit was contemplated by the founding mothers and fathers of the Indian Constitution.

• The phrase “as soon as possible” was inserted in relation to “six weeks”, which was considered a reasonable time for the President to take a call on Bills.

• The Supreme Court finds that some speakers in the Constituent Assembly debate found even six weeks “too long.”

• The Supreme Court is answering a Reference issued by the President under Article 143 on whether timelines could be imposed on the President/Governors through a judicial order.

Judicial Oversight on Assent is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
