For the first time 10 laws were implemented without the approval of the Governor and the President, the historic decision of the Tamil Nadu government

Supreme Court and Tamil Nadu News: In a historic judgment, the DMK government of Tamil Nadu has officially implemented 10 Bills as a law without the approval of the Governor or the President. This decision has been taken after the historic decision of the Supreme Court. This is the first time that a state has implemented the bill as a law without the intervention of the Governor or the President.

The opposition is seeing these changes as the autonomy of the state government and the victory of the country’s federal structure. All the Bills implemented by the Tamil Nadu government were pending with the Governor from 2023. Most of these bills were passed twice by the Assembly but did not get approval, so the Tamil Nadu government eventually appealed to the Supreme Court where it won. On 8 April, the Supreme Court, in its judgment, canceled the Governor’s decision to suppress the bills as arbitrary.

Citing this decision of the Supreme Court, the DMK government of Tamil Nadu has now said that the Bills have been passed and sent to the Governor for a second time, which they will have to approve. The decision of the Supreme Court is being implemented as if these bills have been approved and they are being implemented as laws. The Bills for which the notification has been issued by the state government include Tamil Nadu University Amendment Act 2022, Tamil Nadu Fisheries Amendment Act 2020, Dr. Ambedkar University. Law Amendment 2022 etc. include 10 bills related to universities. For the first time, it was observed that the Supreme Court’s decision was cited in this notification and its implementation was clarified.

According to constitutional provisions, the bill passed in the assembly is sent to the Governor. The governor can approve it, reject it, or send back to modification. But if the Assembly re -passes the bill sent back and sends it to the Governor, the governors cannot send such bills back to the President for consideration. They must compulsorily approve it. Keeping this provision in mind, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Tamil Nadu government.
