Which one of the following is not under the purview of Governor ?
He can suspend the fundamental rights during emergency
Reserving a Bill for the consideration of the President is a power of the Governor under Article 200 (and is obligatory for a Bill that endangers the position of the High Court).
Making a report to the President about the failure of the constitutional machinery in the State is the Governor's function under Article 356, which forms the basis of President's Rule.
Article 239(2) allows the President to appoint the Governor of a State as the Administrator of an adjoining Union Territory, and the Governor then performs those functions independently of his Council of Ministers. So this too lies within his purview.
Suspension of fundamental rights during an emergency is not the Governor's power. Under Article 358 Article 19 is suspended automatically during a national emergency proclaimed on grounds of war or external aggression, and under Article 359 the President may suspend the enforcement of other rights (except Articles 20 and 21).
Hence, the answer is He can suspend the fundamental rights during emergency.
