Question

Which Article of the Constitution of India deals with the ordinance making power of the Governor?

A.

Article 209

B.

Article 205

C.

Article 213

D.

Article 203

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Article 213.

Explanation:
· Article 213 of the Indian Constitution grants the Governor the power to promulgate ordinances when the Legislature of the state is not in session. This power is similar to the ordinance-making power of the President of India under Article 123 for the central government.
· The Governor can issue ordinances when there is an urgent need for legislation, but these ordinances must be approved by the state legislature within a specified time period (usually six weeks) after it reconvenes.
Explanation of Other Options:
· Article 209: This article does not deal with the ordinance-making power of the Governor. It refers to the power of the Governor to regulate the procedure of the state legislature.
· Article 205: This article pertains to the Governor’s address to the state legislature and does not deal with ordinance-making.
· Article 203: This article deals with the recommendation of the Governor for the introduction of money bills in the state legislature, not ordinance-making.
