What is the power of the administrator to promulgate Ordinances during the recess of Legislature in Union territories?
Article 239B of the Constitution of India states that if the administrator of a Union territory, such as Puducherry, is satisfied that immediate action is necessary in situations when the Legislature is not in session, he may promulgate Ordinances as required. However, this can only be done after obtaining instructions from the President. Additionally, the administrator cannot promulgate any Ordinance during the period when the Legislature is dissolved or suspended. Ordinances promulgated under this article are deemed to be Acts of the Legislature of the Union territory.
