(a) राज्यपालांचा तो स्वेच्छाधीन अधिकार आहे.
(b) ते केवळ मंत्रिमंडळाच्या सल्ल्यानुसारच वटहुकुम काढू शकतात
(c) ते वटहुकुम कोणत्याही वेळी मागे घेवू शकतात.
(d) कांही बाबतीत ते राष्ट्रपतींच्या सुचनांशिवाय वटहुकुम काढू शकत नाहीत.
वरीलपैकी कोणती विधाने बरोबर आहेत ?

The correct answer is Option B ((b), (c), (d)).

Key Points:
• Article 213 of the Constitution deals with the ordinance-making power of the Governor:
• Statement (a) is incorrect: The ordinance-making power is NOT a discretionary power; it is an executive power exercised only with the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers headed by the Chief Minister.
• Statement (b) is correct: An ordinance can only be promulgated when the state legislature is in recess and on the advice of the Council of Ministers.
• Statement (c) is correct: An ordinance promulgated under Article 213 may be withdrawn at any time by the Governor.
• Statement (d) is correct: Under Article 213(1) proviso, the Governor cannot promulgate certain ordinances without prior instructions from the President (e.g., bills requiring prior sanction of the President or bills that would derogate from High Court powers).
• Hence, statements (b), (c), and (d) are correct (Option 2).
• Key Takeaway: Governor's ordinance power (Art 213) is non-discretionary, requires Cabinet advice, can be withdrawn anytime, and may require President's instruction.
