Can the Governor delay or cancel a scheduled session of the State Legislature?
No, the Governor cannot delay or cancel a scheduled session of the State Legislature. The Governor is required to summon the House or each House of the State Legislature to meet at the time and place he thinks fit, with no more than six months intervening between its last sitting in one session and the date appointed for its first sitting in the next session (Article 174(1)). The Governor may prorogue or dissolve the Legislative Assembly as per Article 174(2), but there is no provision for delaying or cancelling a scheduled session.
