Tamil Nadu government moves Supreme Court against Governor over delay in clearing bills

The tussle between the DMK government in Tamil Nadu and Governor RN Ravi has now reached the Supreme Court, this time over the 'delay' in clearing bills.

A petition filed by the Tamil Nadu government seeks an order laying down guidelines stipulating the outer time limit for governors to consider bills passed by the Legislature.

In the plea, the government stated that there should be a specified time limit for clearing the bills.
