Manipur govt plans to publish Constitution in ‘Meetei Mayek’
Manipur’s chief minister announced the publication of the Constitution in Meetei Mayek script. This effort promotes the Manipuri script and allows Manipuri speakers to understand the Constitution fully. The Constitution is the supreme law and codifies the political structure and functions of government. Its non-availability in local languages has limited its understanding. The publication in Meetei Mayek script is significant and special, becoming an invaluable asset for the state.

Supreme Court reaffirms Governor cannot use constitutional powers to thwart normal course of lawmaking by State
The Supreme Court has ruled that the Governor, as an unelected Head of State, cannot use their constitutional powers to obstruct the normal lawmaking process of state legislatures. The court emphasized that when the Governor withholds assent under Article 200, they must follow the course of action indicated in the first proviso. The Governor’s power should not allow them to veto the functioning of a duly elected legislature without any further recourse. The court clarified that this principle also applies to Money Bills, which are excluded from the Governor’s power to return a Bill. In a parliamentary form of democracy, real power lies with elected representatives and the Governor acts on the ‘aid and advise’ of the Council of Ministers, except in areas of discretionary power. The Governor is a constitutional statesman, guiding the government on matters of constitutional concern.
