RuleMate India

SHORT ANSWER: The Indian Constitution provides the Governor with the power to veto bills passed by the state legislature under Article 200. DETAILS: - Article 200 allows the Governor to withhold assent to a bill, return it for reconsideration, or reserve it for the President's consideration. - If the Governor returns a bill, the state legislature can reconsider it and pass it again; if passed again, the Governor must give assent. - The state legislature can also attempt to override a veto by reintroducing the bill and passing it again. PUNISHMENT / IMPLICATIONS (if applicable): - There are no specific punishments for overriding a veto, but the Governor's assent is necessary for a bill to become law.
