SHORT ANSWER:
The Indian Constitution allows the state legislature to override a governor's veto through a re-passage of the bill by a simple majority.
DETAILS:
- Article 200 of the Indian Constitution states that the governor can withhold assent to a bill, return it for reconsideration, or give assent.
- If the governor withholds assent, the legislature can reintroduce the bill and pass it again; if passed by a simple majority, it becomes law despite the governor's veto.
PUNISHMENT / IMPLICATIONS (if applicable):
- No specific punishment for overriding a veto, but political implications may arise.
