CJI: we understand it as constitutional harmony

Salve: we don't start with any preconceived notion. I don't propose to read any judgment, just read the Article. If Article 201 is picked up, mylords have been told repeatedly, each words are carefully calibrated.

marked the words -shall be presented against to the President- the words shall not withhold assent is conspicuous- high constitutional functionaries...

CJI: Dr Ambedkar said how federalism works and how the scheme is different...he said, except emergency, the States would work under spheres allotted to them, and Union likewise and except for emergency where powers stands with centre unitedly.

Salve: understanding of Articles 200 and 201 has become legislative competence-centric. The state legislatures are legislatures who have the right to make laws. In our federalism, two parallel models- Union and State legislature. Constitution treats them differently, and we can't read it differently. For eg, Article 74.
