  • J Narasimha: you say there is nothing like pocket veto, though we can't specify a time limit, but there has to be a way the process works out.

    SG: what you are pained at, it will not confer with jurisdiction. We are not flooded with cases which such instances have arised. One or two States have come. Remedy lies with the Parliament. Mylords have said, in view of this we request the Parliament but your lordship does not direct. That's constitutional comity..Suppose Governor is sitting over bills, there are political solutions and it is not everywhere the CM rushes to the Court. CM goes to the PM, telephonic it is sorted out. Such impasse is solved. But it will not confer jurisdiction to lay down time limit even if there is justification. Such issues are arising in last many decades, but statesmanship and political maturity allows them to keep the centre...they come together and a political solution is found.
