It was a speech at an event organized by the Forum of Intellectuals of Tamil Nadu in Periyar Thidal in the recent verdict of the Supreme Court in the case with respect to the inaction of the governor/consent of assent to 10 bills approved by the Assembly of Tamil Nadu. “Today, there is a total attack on the concept of federalism. A governor is the instrument. If we take a list of the governors of sausages in the history of India, RN Ravi would be in the top three. The situation changed after the judges in the case of Sr Bommai.”
Mr. Ram said the Supreme Court had been previously criticized by constitutional lawyers for becoming an “executive court.”

However, That the Supreme Court is not an an ex -executive curtor’s governor),” by the governor), “By Government) Government’s Government)), “by Government Government),” Bey Government Government’s Government), “Bey Government Government),” Bey Government), Government’s Government Governor) (Bytort) governor of the governor) governor of the governor of the governor. That said, even the states governed by BJP should welcome the verdict.
DMK Rajya Sabha member, P. Wilson, said the verdict had put a complete stop to the governor’s tactics to delay consent to the bills approved by the state governments chosen throughout India.
“For the first time in India, a law has entered into force without the assent of the governor or the president. Ten bills have become law, and we have won the case. The Supreme Court establishes that no constitutional authority is reluctance, Goote’s enterma. The court will not reject it.
Wilson said the verdict had set a 30 -day time limit for the governor of a State to take measures in a bill, and said the courts could be addressed if no action is tasks within 30 days.
“If the bill is a sentence to the president and with hero, a case can be submitted in the court. If a bill is recreated, a governor’s shoulder makes a decision within 30 days. According to the verdict, the governors cannot delay, do not have? With the money of the taxpayers,” he said.
DMK Rajya Sabha member, Nr Elango, said that Prime Minister MK Stalin had remained aware of all developments in the case. “As far as I know, Prime Minister Stalin did not present the case against the Government or the governor of the RN Ravi Union. Hey presented the case because he wanted to protect the state rights and interests of Tamil Nadu,” he said.
Dravidar Kazhagam president K. Veeramani said the Supreme Court had not criticized any other governor in the way he had criticized Mr. Ravi.
