ABSTRACT

The paper deals with the analysis of one of the discretionary powers of the President of India who is the nominal head of the government and the highest constitutional body in India. The power of vetoing over a bill passed by the legislature is dealt in this paper. Along with the discussion of this discretionary power, various types of veto powers are also studied in this paper and are compared to the veto powers with the Heads of different states. The comparison done gives a deeper and contextual understanding of the subject and is thus done in paper. The Presidential veto is not only available in matters of union legislature but are also available in the matters of state legislature if a particular bill has been kept for consideration of the President by  Governor of that state and thus, an analysis of this power is also done in this paper along with the politics that is played behind it.
