\nArticle 213 of the Indian Constitution grants the Governor the power to promulgate ordinances.
\nA) This statement is correct. The Governor can exercise this power only when the legislative assembly (or both houses, if bicameral) is not in session.
\nB) This statement is correct. The scope of the ordinance-making power is coextensive with the legislative power of the State Legislature (limited to subjects in the State List and Concurrent List).
\nC) This statement is incorrect. The Governor *is* competent to withdraw an ordinance at any time before it is approved or disapproved by the legislature. The power to promulgate includes the power to withdraw.
\nD) This statement is correct. The Governor exercises this power on the advice of the Council of Ministers, not in their personal discretion (as established by Supreme Court judgments, e.g., Cooper case, D.C. Wadhwa case).
\nThe question asks which one is NOT the ordinance making power of the Governor.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Governor’s ordinance-making power (Article 213) is exercised on the advice of the Council of Ministers, only when the legislature is not in session, and its scope is limited to the state legislature’s legislative powers. The Governor has the power to withdraw an ordinance at any time.
\n<\/section>\n
\nOrdinances have the same force and effect as an Act of the Legislature but are temporary in nature. They must be laid before the state legislature when it reassembles and cease to operate within six weeks from the reassembly unless approved earlier.
