A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Girish Kulkarni of #BombayHighCourt is hearing a petition by Ratan Luth regarding delay in nomination of 12 MLCs by #Maharashtra #governor @BSKoshyari as recommended by Council of Ministers.
Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Anil Singh argued for #UnionGovt that Governor has "discretionary power" to nominate MLCs based on the recommendation.

CJ- But "duty" is still there (to act/speak). Can't escape from this (noimination), something has to be said.
Justice Kulkarni pointed out that Governor was expected to act "independently" devoid of any "political influence".

A tweet thread on #India's #Government #Finances
1. They are in a deep mess. The #Punjab #FinanceMinister came out of a #GSTCouncil meeting to suggest that the #UnionGovt may be close to a #SovereignDefault, because it is unable to p[ay out to the States's their share of GST.
That may be hyperbole. A sovereign default is when the Govt is so cash strapped that it is unable to service its debt. I'm not sure India is anywhere near that dire situation as yet.
But that does not mean that the Public finances are rosy. In fact they are dire in the extreme!
