Being the head of the state comes with certain responsibilities. Fair elections have always been considered an important feature of democracy and a way to express one’s idea of how a nation should work. It is the right of the people to choose their own leader. While considering this preposition there are situations when no party/leader gains majority in the house. To guide a state through this situation there are certain responsibilities of the governor at state level which he has to fulfill. The paper investigates into the role of governor in this situation, his powers, responsibilities and the controversies rooted into it. It further discusses the judgements and statutory provisions giving a clear picture of how such situations must be tackled with and the limitations to governor’s discretionary powers. And finally, the paper concludes with the present situation in this regard.
