Sibal: Since Independence, mylords have you ever heard President withholding a bill?
CJI: there was one occasion
Sibal: That was different. Parliament is sovereign. President is elected President, there is element of urgency-will of the people has to be implemented urgently.

CJI: burden is on whom who challenges is-very strong burden

CJI: according to you legislative competence can't be looked by Governor?
J Narasimha: written constitution is lost if the Bills
