SG: What happens when Bill is referred by Governor to President- its Article 201. Please mark as separate point, Constitution provides for a timelimit.
J Nath: the exercise of returning can continue as much as President desires?
SG: How I interpret this, several provisions where Governor exercises executive or legislative or quasi legislative..neither contextually or textually, it can be concluded that withhold is temporary withholding till first proviso works out. If framers were to link, two things -a. withhold will be qualified with first proviso b. first proviso would provide that it will be reconsidered.
In other words, the power of withholding is independent power.
