Which of the following statements is/are true about Governor’s power for assent to Bill? (i) The Governor can reserve the Bill for the consideration of the President. (ii) He can assent the Bill but he cannot withhold the assent. (iii) When a Bill is likely to affect the powers of High Courts of state the Governor must reserve it for the consideration of President.
(i) and (iii) only
Under Article 200, when a Bill passed by the State Legislature is presented to the Governor, he may give his assent, withhold his assent, return it (if not a Money Bill) for reconsideration, or reserve it for the consideration of the President. So statement (i) is correct.
Since withholding assent is one of the options expressly given by Article 200, statement (ii) is wrong.
The second proviso to Article 200 makes reservation obligatory when a Bill would so derogate from the powers of the High Court as to endanger its constitutional position. So statement (iii) is correct.
Hence, (i) and (iii) only.
