If a bill passed by the state legislature is reserved by the Governor for the consideration of the President, and is subsequently returned by the President for reconsideration, what is the status of the bill if the state legislature passes it again and sends it back to the President?

Question

Accepted Answer

Under the Constitution of India, if a state bill is reserved by the Governor for the President's assent, the President may assent to it, withhold assent, or return it for reconsideration. If the state legislature repasses the bill (with or without amendments) and sends it back, the Constitution does not bind the President to give assent. Thus, the President may still grant or withhold assent.
