What this means

  • The index files this text under article 184 of the Constitution of India.
  • The index files it under the chapter heading “CHAPTER II.—T HE EXECUTIVE — The Governor”.
  • The passage runs to about 85 words.

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) While the office of Chairman is vacant, the duties of the office shall be performed by the DeputyChairman or, if the office of Deputy Chairman is alsovacant, by such member of the Council as the Governormay appoint for the purpose.”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.

The index gives this passage an article number but stores a body fragment where a heading would be, so the number could not be cross-checked against the text. Check it against the official Constitution before relying on it in a citation.

No rights vocabulary from our fixed word list appears in this passage, so no plain-language reading is offered for it.

This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
