Article 200 of the Indian Constitution outlines the powers of the Governor regarding State Bills. The Governor can assent to the bill, withhold assent, or reserve the bill for the consideration of the President. The circumstances under which a Governor can reserve a bill include: If the bill would, if it became law, derogate from the powers of the High Court (ii). If the bill is considered to be of grave importance, potentially affecting national security or the country's interests (iii). If the bill deals with the compulsory acquisition of property and is reserved for the President's assent under Article 31A (iv). While the opposition to Directive Principles of State Policy (i) is a significant consideration for the government, it is not a direct statutory ground for the Governor to reserve a bill for the President's assent under Article 200. However, a bill that contravenes DPSP might also fall under other categories like being against the Constitution or national interest, leading to reservation. But specifically, (ii), (iii), and (iv) are explicit grounds.
Under which of the following circumstances, the Governor can reserve a State Bill for the consideration of the President? (i) If it is opposed to the Directive Principles of the State Policy (ii) If it endangers the position of the State High Court (iii) If it is of grave national importance (iv) If it is dealing with the compulsory acquisition of property under Article 31A Choose the correct answer using the codes given below.
