Government rules made easy. Just ask.

SHORT ANSWER: Court rulings have clarified that a governor can withhold assent to bills under Article 200 only in specific circumstances, such as when the bill is unconstitutional or against the public interest. DETAILS: - The governor must act on the advice of the council of ministers unless the bill is unconstitutional. - The governor can return the bill for reconsideration if it is not a money bill. - The governor cannot withhold assent arbitrarily; there must be valid reasons. PUNISHMENT / IMPLICATIONS (if applicable): - If a governor acts beyond the constitutional provisions, it may lead to judicial review. SOURCE: - Constitution of India, Article 200
