Supreme Court says it's not appropriate for court to set timelines for President, Governors to clear bills

In a significant judgment, the Supreme Court on Thursday stated that it is not appropriate to fix timelines for President and Governor for giving assent to bills. The apex court also observed that governors can't sit on bills indefinitely but fixing timelines would be trampling upon separation of powers. A five-judge Constitution bench highlighted that the actions of the President or Governors are not "justiciable" and judicial review can be invoked only when a Bill becomes a law.
