Question 3 of 5
3. Question
2 points3. Consider the following statements:
1. The Governor of a State is mandated to read the entire text of the budget speech prepared by the State Government as per the Rules of State Legislatures.
2. The Governor’s authority to act as the Chancellor of a State university can be traced to Article 163 which provides discretionary power to the Governor.
3. The Office of Governor enjoys security of tenure as she is appointed for a term of Five Years by the President.
Which of the statements given above are correct?Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
● Statement 1 is incorrect: The Governor of a State is not mandated to read the entire text of the budget speech prepared by the State Government. There are no such rules(legislative or otherwise), laws or any provision in the Constitution which make it mandatory. But as per convention, the Governor generally reads the whole text.
● Statement 2 is incorrect: As per Art 163, the Governor of a State is the highest executive authority in the State who can act as per the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers except in matters of discretion. The matters of discretion are not defined in the Constitution and it means that the Governor also has situational discretion. The Governor of a state is generally the Chancellor of a state university. But this power is given by the State made laws governing these universities and not as per Art 163.
● Statement 3 is incorrect: The Office of Governor does not enjoy security of tenure although she is appointed for a term of Five Years by the President. This is because the Governor holds office during the pleasure of the President and hence no security of tenure exists for the Governor.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.Incorrect

1. It is concurrent with the law-making power of the Parliament.
2. It is co-extensive with the law-making power of the Parliament.
3. It is parallel with the law-making power of the Parliament.
Select the correct answer by using the code given below:Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
● Art 123 deals with the power of the President to promulgate Ordinances during recess of Parliament. She can promulgate Ordinance except when both Houses of Parliament are in session. An Ordinance promulgated under this article shall have the same force and effect as an Act of Parliament.
● The Ordinance making power of the President is not a concurrent power with the law-making power of the Parliament. A concurrent power is the power that is shared by more than one authority but here the Ordinance making power is not shared between the President and the Parliament. The Ordinance making power is also not a parallel power because the President can make Ordinances only when the Parliament is not in session. But the Ordinance making power of the President is coextensive with the law-making power of the Parliament except duration. It means the President can make Ordinance on all those matters where the Parliament is competent to enact laws. Hence statements 1 and 3 are incorrect but statement 2 is correct.
Hence, the answer is option BIncorrect
