The judge wanted to know if there was any notification designating the administrator of Puducherry as Lieutenant Governor since all government communications had used the latter expression. “It is only for the past two or three swearing in ceremonies that the Chief Justice of this court has been administering the oath to the Puducherry Governor,” Mr. Gopalan added. Mr. Justice M. Sundar, who along with Chief Justice Indira Banerjee, was hearing the case, wanted to know under what authority was the administrator of Puducherry referred to as Lieutenant Governor. An interesting issue cropped up in the course of hearing of the case pertaining to the nominated MLAs of Puducherry before the Madras High Court on Thursday. The judge pointed out that Article 239 of the Constitution states that every union territory shall be administered by the President through an “administrator” to be appointed by him with such designation as he may specify.
