Explanation:

The power to grant pardon by the president is wider than that of the governor. President can grant pardon to a death convict (Article 72(1) (c)). He can also pardon punishment inflicted by the court martial (Article 73(1) (a)). Governor do not have these powers. High Courts have powers to issue writs under Article-226. High courts can enforce Fundamental Rights (FR) or any other legal rights through writs. But under article 32, Supreme Court’s power to issue writs is confined to matters regarding fundamental rights only. The Governor has no power to appoint Judges of the State High Court but he is entitled to be consulted by the President in the matter. District judge is the highest judicial authority in the District (civil and criminal).
