Governor’s duty to see bill doesn't contravene with spirit of Constitution: Arif Mohammad Khan

Amid the scuffle between the Kerala government and state Governor Arif Mohammad Khan over the University Amendment Bill, the Kerala Governor on August 25 in Thiruvananthapuram, stressed importance of the Governor’s duty to see that the bill does not contravene the spirit of the Constitution before passing it.

“Constitution gives the power to pass a bill, it has to pass some other places also to become a law. They can pass any bill they want to but Governor scrutinizes a bill, to see it doesn't contravene with spirit of Constitution,” the Kerala Governor said.
