What is the procedure for the Governor's assent to Bills passed by the State Legislature?
When a Bill has been passed by the Legislative Assembly of a State or, in case of a State with a Legislative Council, has been passed by both Houses of the Legislature, it is presented to the Governor. The Governor may declare that they assent to the Bill, withhold assent, or reserve the Bill for the consideration of the President. The Governor may also return a non-Money Bill to the House or Houses for reconsideration, with a message requesting the introduction of any amendments they may recommend. If the Bill is passed again with or without amendment and presented to the Governor for assent, the Governor shall not withhold assent. The Governor shall reserve for the President's consideration any Bill that, in their opinion, would derogate from the powers of the High Court and endanger the position it is designed to fill by the Constitution.
