Question
Which of the following best describes the constitutional
function of the Governor under Fifth Schedule of the Constitution with respect to Scheduled Areas?Solution
The Governor’s powers under the Fifth Schedule are intended to function as protective mechanisms for Scheduled Tribes, not as instruments of unfettered discretion. The Governor may modify or exclude the application of laws in Scheduled Areas, but such actions must align with constitutional objectives and are subject to judicial review. In Samatha v. State of Andhra Pradesh, the Supreme Court highlighted that protection of tribal land and culture is central to the Fifth Schedule. Thus, the Governor acts as a constitutional trustee rather than a political authority.
