Explanation:
The invalidation of the election of the President does not affect the validity of acts performed by the President before the decision.
The election for the post of the President of India cannot be postponed due to the dissolution of Legislative Assemblies. The President's election is governed by a specific schedule, and it takes place as per the prescribed procedure, regardless of the status of Legislative Assembly elections.
The Constitution of India does not prescribe specific time limits for the President to give his/her assent to a Bill.
