- The Supreme Court has published its judgment related to Tamil Nadu govt Vs Governor R.N. Ravi’s case.
- The Court has equally set aside consequential steps taken by President Murmu on the Bills as non-est.
- The Supreme Court has held that the reservation of a Bill by a Governor for the consideration of the President on the grounds like his personal dissatisfaction, the political expediency or any other “extraneous or irrelevant considerations” is strictly impermissible by the Constitution.

- The Court explained that the reservation of Bill for consideration of the President would be solely on the grounds of great peril to democratic principles with clearly assigned reasons.
- The State governments can challenge such a reservation on the ground of failure on part of the Governor to furnish the necessary reasons.
- The State government can also approach the competent court with a writ of mandamus if a Governor sits on a Bill for a period exceeding the time limits of three months.
- The apex court reminded constitutional authorities occupying high offices that they must be guided by the values of the Constitution.
