According to the Indian Constitution, which of the following powers are NOT vested in Governor?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Writs Issuing powers.

According to the Indian Constitution, the power to issue writs is not vested in the Governor; it is exclusively exercised by the High Courts and the Supreme Court under Articles 32 and 226. The Governor, however, possesses legislative powers (e.g., summoning and proroguing the state legislature), financial powers (e.g., recommending the state budget), and discretionary powers in specific situations (e.g., appointing the Chief Minister when no party has a clear majority).
