What is the role of the President when it comes to appointing an administrator for a Union Territory?
The President has the authority to appoint an administrator for a Union Territory and specify their designation. They can also choose to act through the appointed administrator to such extent as they think fit. Furthermore, the President may appoint the Governor of a State as the administrator of an adjoining Union Territory, in which case the Governor would exercise their functions as such administrator independently of their Council of Ministers.
