Chennai: For the first time in the country’s legislative history, the Tamil Nadu government notified 10 Acts without receiving assent from the Governor or the President following the recent Supreme Court verdict on the Bills that Governor R N Ravi had held back and then forwarded them to the President even after the Bills were passed in the Assembly for the second time.
The Acts were officially notified through the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary dated April 11, 2025, since the Supreme Court ruling on April 8 said that the Governor’s action of sending the Bills to the President as unconstitutional and a violation of Article 200 of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court bench led by Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan also said the Bills should be considered as having received the assent on the date they were resubmitted on November 18, 2023.
