In November 2021, M. Appavu, the state legislative assembly speaker of which state assembly called for ‘setting a binding timeframe within which bills should be assented, returned or reserved for consideration of the President of India by the Governors’?
Tamil Nadu
The correct answer is Tamil Nadu.
This ambiguity has been a source of friction between state governments and Governors, particularly when Governors appear to indefinitely delay action on bills passed by the state legislature. The demand for a binding timeframe, as voiced by the Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker, is part of a larger discussion on cooperative federalism and the constitutional balance of power between the centre (which appoints Governors) and the states.
