NEW DELHI, Nov 24: The Supreme Court has ruled that while the unelected Head of State is vested with constitutional powers, those powers cannot be used to obstruct state legislatures' normal legislative process. Specifically, the court stressed that governors cannot be allowed to hold bills for an indefinite period of time without taking any action.

However, this power cannot be used to thwart the normal course of lawmaking by…
