However, repromulgation of an ordinance ought not to be a mechanical exercise and a responsibility rests on the Governor to be satisfied that &#8216;circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action&#8217; for promulgating or repromulgating an ordinance,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The verdict came on a plea against a series of ordinances issued by the Bihar Governor between 1989 and 1992 regarding the taking over of 429 private Sanskrit schools by the state.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We hold and declare that every one of the ordinances at issue commencing with Ordinance 32 of 1989 and ending with the last of the ordinances, Ordinance 2 of 1992 constituted a fraud on constitutional power,&#8221; the verdict penned by Justice Chandrachud said.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Repromulgation of ordinances is a &#8220;fraud&#8221; on the Constitution and a sub-version of democratic legislative processes, especially when the government persistently avoids the placing the ordinances before the legislature, the Supreme Court today ruled.
