New Delhi, 15/5:Following the apex court’s April 8 judgment fixing a timeline for the Governor and the President on clearing Bills passed by state legislatures, President Droupadi Murmu has made a reference to the Supreme Court to decide if this can be done through judicial orders in the absence of the constitutionally prescribed timeline for it.
The reference has been made by the President in exercise of power under Article 143(1) of the Constitution which allows the top constitutional head to seek the opinion of the Supreme Court on any question of law or fact of public importance.
