New Delhi: The Supreme Court today heard the petition of Punjab government against Governor Banwari Lal Purohit. Chief Justice Governor made a big comment and said that even if the Governor feels that the bill has been passed wrongly, then he should send it back to the Speaker of the Assembly. On the other hand on behalf of the Punjab government in the Supreme Court, Singhvi said that it is impossible to call the session of the assembly under the current governor. Chief Justice even questioned that whether Governor has any idea that he is plating with the fire.

The Chief Justice asked the lawyer of the Punjab Governor that even if a session of the Assembly is declared illegal, how will the bill passed by the House become illegal? If the Governor continues to declare the bill illegal in this manner, will the country survive as a parliamentary democracy? Further, the Supreme Court said that the Governor is the constitutional head of the state, but looking at the situation in Punjab, it seems that there is a big difference of opinion between the government and him, which is not good for democracy.
