Gopal will continue on Tuesday.

Sr Adv Anand Sharma, for Himachal Pradesh- this presidential reference does seek to reopen many settled issues of law and brings into discussion constitutional issues of foundational basis..we have given written submissions and judgment which can be marked as read. We circulated short note...

I seek to focus on

1. federalism- power and responsibility and rights of union and autonomy of state

2. position power and constitution role of Governor and President

3. justiciability

4. discretion powers, separation of powers of legislature, judiciary and executive

The framers were grappling in framing the constitution, after centuries of subjugation, the people were to be given a voice... there is no firebones here when it comes to the separation of powers.
