CJI: first proviso to that Article deals with a situation where Governor is bound to give assent

SG: he can still refer

CJI: according to you, its his choice?

SG: let me explain again, he has three options in main proviso- give assent, withholds- bill falls or refers to the President. Fourth option, if repugnacy or tweeking required, return to the house to reconsider, once required, the embargo is he can't withhold but then he can still refer to President. That is not prohibited.
