Supreme Court to deliver judgment on petition filed by the Tamil Nadu government against Governor RN Ravi's refusal to grant assent to several bills passed by the State Legislative Assembly, including those concerning the appointment of Vice Chancellors to State Universities #SupremeCourt
The State had moved the Court seeking directions to the Governor/ President to decide or give assent to bills passed by the State legislature in a time-bound manner.
The State government has argued that the Governor, by indefinitely withholding assent on these bills, was holding the entire State to ransom. In such a situation, the Court must intervene, the Tamil Nadu government argued.

This exclusion was challenged after a mother, whose visually impaired child aspired to the judiciary, wrote to the court, leading to a court-initiated public interest litigation.
