Abstract

The Supreme Court’s judgment in the State of Tamil Nadu (2025) raises critical constitutional questions that go beyond the conduct of the Governor. At its heart, the landmark judgment tests the boundaries of the doctrine of separation of powers and the basic structure principle, particularly as it relates to the operation of checks and balances within India’s quasi-federal and parliamentary framework.
