Important Judgments on Federalism

1. “I term the era before the judgment of the Supreme Court in SR Bommai v. Union of India as the centripetal era. Here, the Court adopted interpretations with a centripetal impact, that is, it had a centralizing tendency which led to an accumulation of power with the Center and away from the federating States.”

2. Mineral Area Development Authority v. M/S Steel Authority Of India, 2024

Court by an 8:1 majority held that States have the power to levy tax on mineral rights,

“We were cognisant of the reality that different States in the country are differently endowed with mineral resources. Interestingly, this was an instance where federalism impacted not only the state's political and fiscal rights but also its ability to deliver welfare measures. We drew heavily from these factual realities, the concepts of resource federalism, and 'fiscal federalism' .”

3. The State Of Punjab v. Principal Secretary To The Governor Of Punjab, 2023

Article 200 of the Indian Constitution gives Governors three options when a state legislature passes a bill:
(1) Give assent to the bill;
(2)Withhold assent;
(3) Reserve the bill for the President's consideration.

(This article also deals with Independence of Judiciary think 💬)

✓ "If the Governor decides to withhold assent under the substantive part of Article 200, the logical course of action is to pursue the course indicated in the first proviso of remitting the Bill to the state legislature for reconsideration. In other words, the power to withhold assent under the substantive part of Article 200 must be read together with the consequential course of action to be adopted by the Governor under the first proviso," 

✓ Distinction between adjournment and prorogation (speaker vs governor power) The Constitution and established legislative practice distinguish between adjournment sine die and prorogation of the session of the House. In the case before us the Vidhan Sabha was adjourned on 22 March 2023 without prorogation. Therefore, the
Speaker was empowered to reconvene the sittings of the House within the same session.

✓ First proviso of 200 is for 2nd option withholding assent and not for giving assent or reserving for president.

✓ As soon as possible
State of Telangana v. Secretary to Her Excellency the Hon’ble Governor for the State of
Telangana, 2023

Governor cannot be at liberty to keep the Bill pending indefinitely
without any action whatsoever.

“Law cannot proceed on the premise that marital misconduct is the norm. It cannot permit or encourage snooping by one spouse on the other. Privacy as a fundamental right includes spousal privacy also and evidence obtained by invading this right is inadmissible,” the court observed.

Explain the admissibility of evidence, with the help of Provisions and cases dealing with Bharitya Nagrik suraksha sanhita and section 14 of Hindu Marriage Act, when there is any illegal procurement of evidence.

Vendor Cannot Execute Second Sale Deed While First Sale Deed Executed Over Same Plot Is Pending Registration: Supreme Court
https://www.livelaw.in/top-stories/vendor-cannot-execute-second-sale-deed-while-first-sale-deed-executed-over-same-plot-is-pending-registration-supreme-court-263941

"The issue of registration of a document is with the State, which requires compulsory registration of documents so that it is not deprived of revenue by way of stamp duty payable on such transfers of immovable property. If the purchaser has no means to pay stamp duty or exorbitant demand of stamp duty is made by the registering authority which the purchaser is unable to pay at that time but he remains satisfied with the fact that the vendor has fairly and duly executed the sale deed presented it for registration and put him in possession of the purchased property which he is peacefully enjoying, he is always at liberty to pay the deficiency of stamp duty at any point of time. The document presented for registration will remain with the Registering Authority till such time, the deficiency is removed. However, this pendency of registration on account of deficiency cannot enure any benefit to the vendor, who has already eliminated all his rights by executing the sale deed after receiving the sale consideration. He cannot become the owner of the transferred land merely because the document of sale is pending for registration


When is the sale deemed to be duly executed?

Do you think the Judgment is correct, in my opinion the strict interpretation of Section is not applied here due to pragmatic situation and it sets an example to the vendors to not commit fraud with others, however the other point remains valid that the registration is not complete and sale is not executed it is a trite principle of law.
