राज्यपाल राज्याचे विधेयक राष्ट्रपतीच्या विचारार्थ राखून ठेवतात त्याबाबतीत खालीलपैकी कोणते विधान चुकीचे आहे ?

The correct answer is Option C ((c) President is bound to give his assent if the same bill has been passed by the State Legislature for a second time.).

Key Points:
• Article 201: Bills Reserved for Consideration of the President:
• Under Article 200, the Governor can reserve a state legislative bill for the consideration of the President.
• Under Article 201, the President may declare that he assents to the bill or withholds assent, or he may direct the Governor to return it to the State Legislature for reconsideration.
• Second Passage by State Legislature: If the bill is passed again by the State Legislature with or without amendment and presented again to the President, the President is NOT bound to give his assent (unlike Article 111 for Union bills or Article 200 for the Governor, where assent becomes mandatory). The President still enjoys an absolute veto over state bills.
• The President can consult the Supreme Court under Article 143, and the Constitution sets no time limit. Thus, statement (c) is clearly incorrect.
• Key Takeaway: Under Article 201, the President is NOT bound to give assent even if a reserved state bill is re-passed by the state legislature.
