New Delhi, April 8 -- The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that Tamil Nadu Governor Dr. RN Ravi's decision to withhold assent for 10 bills-some pending since January 2020-and to reserve them for the President after their re-enactment by the State Legislature is "illegal and erroneous" in law, and therefore subject to being set aside, as reported by LiveLaw.

The Supreme Court said that the Governor is obligated to adopt one course of action-give assent to bills, withhold assent and reserve for the consideration of the President.

Supreme Court said that the governor cannot withhold assent and adopt the concept of absolute veto or pocket veto, PTI reported.
