Explanation

The M.M. Punchhi Commission on Centre-State Relations, established in 2007, provided comprehensive recommendations to streamline legislative processes between the Union and the States [3]. Specifically, regarding Article 201 of the Constitution, the Commission addressed the issue of indefinite delays when a Governor reserves a State Bill for the President's consideration. It recommended that the President (acting on the advice of the Union Executive) should dispose of such reserved Bills within a maximum period of six months [2]. Additionally, the Commission suggested a one-month timeline for the Governor to decide whether to reserve a Bill for the President's consideration [3]. These recommendations aimed to prevent the 'pocket veto' effect and ensure that the legislative expression of State Assemblies is not stalled indefinitely by the Union Executive.
