Discussion
Which one of the following is not under the purview of Governor ?
Answer: D
The power not within the Governor's purview is that he can suspend the fundamental rights during emergency.
Suspension of fundamental rights during a national emergency is a Union matter: Article 358 suspends Article 19 automatically during a proclamation of emergency on the ground of war or external aggression, and under Article 359 the President may suspend the right to move courts for other rights. The Governor has no such power.
The other powers do belong to the Governor. He can reserve a bill for the consideration of the President (Article 200). He reports to the President on the failure of the constitutional machinery in the State, the basis for President's rule under Article 356. And under Article 239(2) the President may appoint him administrator of an adjoining Union Territory.
