How has the designation of administrators changed over time?
The designation of administrators for the Union Territories has changed over time. Initially, every Union Territory was administered by the President acting through an administrator appointed by him with a specified designation (as per Section 239). However, Parliament has the power to create local Legislatures or Council of Ministers or both for certain Union Territories (as per Section 239A), which may alter the designation and functions of administrators. In some cases, such as in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, Article 239A has been made applicable, allowing for further changes to the administration and designation of officials.
