SG: he is not a super chief minister, neither he... ... Supreme Court Hearing-Presidential Reference On Timelines For Bills' Assent-DAY-9 : Live Updates

SG: he is not a super chief minister, neither he is expected as said by Dr Singhvi. One example, in Punjab water dispute, an agreement was entered into by GOI, Punjab, Rajasthan and Haryana. A part was going to Pakistan, so it had cross-border issue and federal issues and the agreement was sought to be cancelled, and the Governor granted his assent. Thereafter, Punjab filed a suit.

I am suggesting, in a situation like this, he is duty bound to withhold assent or refer to the President. Ultimately, Hon'ble President made a reference to this Court.
