By which time Governor has to return an ordinary bill to the concerned State Legislative Assembly for re-consideration?
Answer: D
The answer is no time limit.
Under Article 200 the Governor may assent to a bill, withhold assent, reserve it for the President, or return a bill other than a money bill to the legislature for reconsideration. The Article says the bill is to be returned "as soon as possible" after it is presented, but the Constitution fixes no period in days or months. If the House passes it again, with or without changes, the Governor cannot withhold assent.
One month and two months appear nowhere in Article 200. Six months is the period in Article 201 within which a state legislature must reconsider a bill that the President has directed the Governor to return, which is a different situation.
