Article 124(2) and Article 200 did not have words now imported into them by the Supreme Court. “Consultation” has already become “concurrence” and now appointment could be “deemed”.

The financialisation of Indian household savings is one of the most important economic shifts of the past decade. But financialisation without international diversification creates fragile balance sheets.
The Nirouyeh Vijeh Pasdaran Velayat, or NOPO, was the only force Ali Khamenei trusted.It was founded in 1991 and is more feared than the Revolutionary Guards.
Rating democracies is a tricky business. I am only using the simple metric of who in the Indian subcontinent has had the most peaceful, stable, normal political transitions and continuity.
If this is about the Supreme Court’s recent recommendation regarding bills pending before the Governor and President, then can it be any different from the hollow arguments that ThePrint has published earlier?
