    Explanation:

    DC Wadhwa Case 1987: The Supreme court held that the legislative power of the executive to promulgate ordinances is to be used in exceptional circumstances and not as a substitute for the law-making power of the legislature.

    Office of governor was borrowed from GoI Act 1935.

    President can promulgate ordinances during president's rule for the administration of the state when the Parliament is not in session.
