What are the conditions under which the President may withhold assent to laws made by the Bodoland Territorial Council?
The President may withhold assent to laws made by the Bodoland Territorial Council if he deems them inconsistent with the provisions of the Constitution, against the interests of the nation, or any other valid reason. The President can also direct the Governor to return the law to the Council for reconsideration, along with any recommended amendments. The Council must reconsider the law within six months from the date of receipt of such message, and if the law is passed again with or without amendments, it must be presented again to the President for consideration.
