According to Article 200, when a Bill passed by the Legislature of a State is presented to the Governor, he has four options, namely,
(a) he assents to the Bill;
(b) he withholds assent;
(c) he reserves the Bill for the consideration of the President; or
(d) he returns the Bill to the Legislature for reconsideration.
The first proviso says that as soon as the Bill is presented to him, he may return the Bill to the Legislature (if it is not a Money Bill) together with a message requesting the Legislature to
reconsider the Bill.
He can also suggest the desirability of introducing such amendments or changes as he thinks appropriate. If, on such reconsideration, the Bill is passed again, with or without amendments,and is presented to the Governor for assent, he has to accord his assent.
The second proviso says that if the Bill presented to him derogates, in the opinion of Governor, from the powers of the High Court so as to endanger the position which the High court is designed to fill by the Constitution, he is bound to reserve the Bill for the consideration of the President
