The State of Tamil Nadu on Thursday (August 28, 2025) countered in the Supreme Court the version of the Centre and BJP-ruled States that gubernatorial discretion is “wide”, saying a Governor cannot act as “super Chief Minister” and there cannot be “two swords in the same scabbard”.
Appearing before a Presidential Reference Bench headed by Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai, senior advocate A.M. Singhvi said the Governor is at best a “lubricator”, a “facilitator”, but not a legislator.
