2.3.6. Emergency Powers

The Governor has no emergency powers to meet the situation arising from external aggression or armed rebellion like the President. However, he has the power to make a report to the President whenever he is satisfied that a situation has arisen in which the Government of the State cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution. Hence, he may invite the President to assume to himself the functions of the Government of the State or any of them i.e. invite ‘President’s rule’.
