Justice Mahendar Kumar Goyal said that given our constitutional scheme, it is axiomatic that the office of the Governor is part of the State government and as natural corollary, so is the Secretariat of the Governor.
“…under our constitutional scheme, a Governor is the Executive Head of the State and all transactions of the State Government are carried out under his authority and name. Thus, it is axiomatic that the office of the Governor is part and parcel of the State Government…Logically, once the Governor is part of the State Government, as a natural corollary, its Secretariat must also be part of the State Government,” the Court held.
