<br/><br/> When a constitution bench of the Supreme Court delivered its advisory opinion vide Article 143(1) In Re: Assent, Withholding or Reservation of Bills by the Governor and the President of India (Presidential Reference No 1 of 2025) on 20 November 2025, it appeared to bring closure to the long-standing debate over the extent of the governor’s discretion in granting assent to bills under Article 200 of the Constitution. Though framed in the language of judicial restraint and fidelity to text, the opinion marks a quiet but significant departure from the assertive stance taken in the State of Tamil Nadu v Governor of Tamil Nadu (2025). – Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/50/comment/supreme-courts-advisory-opinion-presidential.html<br/>
