Part VI · Conduct of Government Business

Article 166 Conduct of Business of the Government of a State.

This article sets how a State Government transacts business. All executive action is taken in the name of the Governor. Orders in his name are authenticated under rules. An authenticated order cannot be questioned for not being made by the Governor personally. The Governor also makes rules for the transaction of business. He allocates that business among Ministers.

1. (1) All executive action of the Government of a State shall be expressed to be taken in the name of the Governor.
2. (2) Orders and other instruments made and executed in the name of the Governor shall be authenticated in such manner as may be specified in rules to be made by the Governor, and the validity of an order or instrument which is so authenticated shall not be called in question on the ground that it is not an order or instrument made or executed by the Governor.
3. (3) The Governor shall make rules for the more convenient transaction of the business of the Government of the State, and for the allocation among Ministers of the said business in so far as it is not business with respect to which the Governor is by or under this Constitution required to act in his discretion. 1(4)* * * * *
