On Thursday(5th September), West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose refused to sign the Aparajita Bill, an anti-rape legislation, citing the absence of a required technical report. Despite the bill being unanimously passed by both the government and opposition, the Governor’s office stated that the bill cannot proceed without this report.
Today, 16th, April, The Supreme Court ordered the West Bengal Governor to appoint six Vice-Chancellors from a list submitted by the Mamata government. This emphasizes the court’s role in state educational appointments and highlights collaboration between the judiciary and the executive. The court also urged the state government to propose more candidates for consideration. Ongoing disputes between the government and the governor were addressed. The court scheduled a further hearing for April 30.
