Hosted a high tea to honour the distinguished senior advocates whose brilliant arguments led to one of the most historic verdicts in India's constitutional history. For the first time, the Supreme Court has set binding time limits on Governors and the Hon'ble President to act on the will of elected Governments.
Through Tamil Nadu's determined legal battle, a door has been opened for all States to protect democracy from delays and subversion. We have not merely defended federalism — we have expanded its frontiers. Tamil Nadu will always lead from the front in safeguarding the Constitution.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin hosted a formal high tea to honor distinguished senior legal luminaries who represented the state government in its historic constitutional battle before the Supreme Court. The Chief Minister specifically commended advocates Mukul Rohatgi, Dr. Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Rakesh Dwivedi, and P. Wilson for their persuasive legal arguments. Their efforts culminated in a precedent-setting judicial ruling establishing binding time limits for state governors and the President to decide on legislative bills passed by elected assemblies.
Stalin observed that this landmark judgment opens a vital constitutional doorway for all Indian states, effectively safeguarding parliamentary democracy from arbitrary gubernatorial delays and executive obstruction. By legally asserting that unelected constitutional appointees cannot derail the democratic will of elected legislatures, Tamil Nadu has expanded federal jurisprudence nationwide. The Chief Minister stressed that defending state autonomy remains essential for protecting the constitutional balance between the Union and regional states.
Stalin affirmed that Tamil Nadu will consistently lead from the front in safeguarding the Constitution and promoting federal rights. He declared that constitutional battles fought by the Dravidian movement strengthen democratic institutions across India.
