The possibility of the demand for reference to the Kerala petition that seeks to establish a guide for the governor to act on the bills approved by the state legislature and the challenge to President Droupadi Murmu that retains the assent of four of seven bills of the State to a larger bank of the Supreme Court has become live considering the opinions of the compliance of the state law.
Mr. Arlekar pointed out in a media interview that the Tamil Nadu case should have referred to one leg to a constitution bank. The governor’s response has advanced to the Court considering Kerala’s request in May.
It should be seen if the Attorney General of India, who repeats the union of India and the governor, will increase the demand to send the case to a larger bank when the Apex court considers the case, they say.
Mr. Arlekar felt that the Supreme Court fixed a time limit for the governor to consent to the bills equivalent to a constitutional amendment, which was the prerogative of Parliament.

P. Rajeve, Minister of State Law, felt that the Supreme Court would also have consulted the intention of the constitution’s editors while approved the order in the Tamil Nadu case.
“The governor had the right to criticize the judgment of the Supreme Court. However, the decision of the Supreme Court is the law of the land. The Supreme Court also has the right to review the validity of the constitutional amendments.
