again flags the problem of political appointees in Raj Bhavan using their authority to delay the
implementation of decisions by elected regimes, if not undermine them. Tamil Nadu and Kerala have
questioned the delay in the granting assent to Bills passed by the legislature. Tamil Nadu is also
aggrieved that proposals related to grant of remission to some convicts, sanction for prosecution of
some former Ministers and appointments to the State Public Service Commissions have not been acted
upon. Governors need not rubber stamp any decision, but one can question the practice of Governors,
especially in States not governed by the ruling party at the Centre, blocking decisions and Bills. For
instance, some Governors appear to be hostile to the very idea of amendments to university laws if they
seek to leave out Chancellors, invariably the Governors themselves, from the process of appointing vice-
chancellors, or establishing new universities in which Governors are not chancellors. The idea of having
Governors as ex-officio vice-chancellor of most universities is only a practice and is actualised through
their founding statutes. However, Governors seem to be labouring under the misconception that they
have a right to be chancellors and tend to delay assent to any Bill that clips or removes their power. It is
time to have a national prohibition on Governors being burdened with the role of chancellor of any
university, as recommended by the Justice M.M. Punchhi Commission on Centre-State relations.
It is unfortunate that absence of a time-frame for giving assent is used by some Governors to stymie laws
passed by the legislature. One would have thought the Supreme Court’s observations, arising out of the
Telangana government’s petition, reminding constitutional authorities that the phrase “as soon as
possible” appearing in Article 200 of the Constitution contains significant “constitutional content” would
have driven into a sense of immediacy in considering Bills. What the Court meant was that it would be
constitutionally impermissible for Governors to indefinitely hold on to Bills without conveying a
decision. The States, too, ought to be prudent in their decision-making without leaving scope for
questions on the merit of their decisions. The absence of any laid-down process to seek applications and
assess the relative merits of applicants before appointing the chairperson and the members of the Tamil
Nadu Public Service Commission is a case in point. The larger point that none should forget is that
Governors are explicitly restricted in their functioning by the ‘aid and advice’ clause in the Constitution
and ought not to misuse the discretionary space available to them.

That two States have approached the Supreme Court of India against the conduct of their Governors once
again (flags) the problem of political appointees in Raj Bhavan using their authority to delay the
(implementation)of decisions by elected (regimes), if not (undermine) them. Tamil Nadu and Kerala have
questioned the delay in the granting (assent) to Bills passed by the legislature. Tamil Nadu is also aggrieved
that proposals related to grant of (remission) to some convicts, (sanction) for (prosecution) of some former
Ministers and appointments to the State Public Service Commissions have not been (acted upon). Governors
need not (rubber stamp) any decision, but one can question the practice of Governors, especially in States
not governed by the ruling party at the Centre, blocking decisions and Bills. For (instance), some Governors
appear to be (hostile) to the very idea of amendments to university laws if they seek to (leave out)
Chancellors, (invariably)the Governors themselves, from the process of appointing vice-chancellors, or
establishing new universities in which Governors are not chancellors. The idea of having Governors as (ex-
officio ) vice-chancellor of most universities is only a practice and is (actualised) through their founding
(statutes). However, Governors seem to be (labouring under)the (misconception) that they have a right to be
chancellors and (tend) to delay (assent) to any Bill that (clips) or removes their power. It is time to have a
national (prohibition) on Governors being (burdened) with the role of chancellor of any university, as

impermissible for Governors to indefinitely hold on to Bills without (conveying) a decision. The States, too,

decisions. The absence of any (laid-down) process to seek applications and assess the relative merits of
applicants before appointing the chairperson and the members of the Tamil Nadu Public Service
Commission is a case in point. The larger point that none should forget is that Governors are (explicitly)
