Apr 18, 2025
New Delhi, April 18, 2025 (ANI): Speaking on Supreme Court mandating a three-month deadline for the President to decide on bills forwarded by Governors, former Supreme Court Judge Justice Ajay Rastogi said, “In my personal opinion, as the Constitution does not specify a timeline, issuing guidelines on such a timeline should have been avoided. Article 142 does not grant the authority to mandate the Hon’ble President.”
