Governor to act in his discretion is not confined to the Constitution merely. The Lt. Governor while exercising such powers and discharging such functions which any law requires to be done in his discretion acts on his own judgment without seeking aid and advice of the Council of Ministers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Further, the proviso to Article 239AA(4) enables the Lt. Governor in case of difference of opinion to refer the matter to the President for decision and act according to the decision given thereon by the President. Pending such decision of the President, the Lt. Governor is empowered to take such action or to give such direction if in his opinion the matter is so urgent that it is necessary for him to take immediate action,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>(Source : PTI)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Delhi High Court today termed as &#8220;without substance&#8221; the contention of the AAP government that the LG is bound to act only on the aid and advice of the Chief Minister and his Council of Ministers with regard to making laws by the Legislative Assembly under the Article 239AA of the Constitution.
