Governor has no option but to sign the Lokayukt Bill, second time passed by Gujarat Legislative Assembly

Governor has no option but to sign the Lokayukt Bill which is second time passed by Gujarat Legislative Assembly

After passing any Bill, Legislative Assembly has to send it to The Governor for signature. After Governor signs, it becomes Act or Law.

Here, the Governor has a option. If he has some objection or different view, he can send it back to Legislative Assembl with his remarks.

If the Assembly passes this bill again, with or without amenments, and sends it to Governor for signature, then the Governor has no option but to sign it.

Therefore in my view, the Governor has no option but to sign the Lokayukt Bill which Assembly has sent it second time for signature.
