In Chennai, the Supreme Court of India criticized Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi for his refusal to reappoint DMK leader K Ponmudi as a minister, despite a stay on his conviction. The court set a one-day deadline for Ponmudi's induction into the state cabinet, a directive that was followed by Governor Ravi who swore in Ponmudi at a ceremony in Raj Bhavan. DMK Spokesperson TKS Elangovan highlighted the court's decision, emphasizing that the governor had no authority to refuse the appointment. This incident, reported by Sunil Prabhu and @jsamdaniel, has sparked discussions on the governor's authority and the judicial system's role in administrative appointments.
