My brother, David, was always close to our grandmother. Both of them shared a love of Mother Nature and of food that they had grown themselves. Whenever his schedule permitted, he would drop in for a short visit and a cup of coffee. One day, when he found no one home, he left a chunk of dirt on her porch. This started what was later to be known as his "calling card". Grandmother would come home occasionally and instantly know that Dave had been by when she spotted the chunk of dirt on her porch.

Although Grandmother had a poor upbringing in Italy, she managed to do well in the United States. She was always healthy and independent and enjoyed a fulfilling life. Recently she had a stroke and died. Everyone was saddened by her death. David was disconsolate. His life ­long friend was now gone.

Q:

Which of the following statements about the Ordinance-making power of the Governor is/are correct?1. It is a discretionary power.2. The Governor himself is not competent to withdraw the Ordinance at any time.Select the correct answer using the code given below.

A) 1 only B) 2 only
C) Both 1 and 2 D) Neither 1 nor 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation:

The State Executive has temporary law-making power in emergent situations under the Constitution of India. And the Governor is the head of the State Executive. So, the ordinance making power confers on him by the Constitution itself. But this is not a discretionary power. The ordinance making power of the Governor is co-extensive with the legislative power of the State Legislature to make laws. He can promulgate ordinances only on the subjects on which the State Legislature has power to make laws under the Constitution.
