Under the Sixth Schedule, the Governor has the power to annul or suspend any act or resolution of a District or Regional Council if it is likely to endanger the safety of India or is against public order. The President, the state legislature and the Parliament do not exercise this specific power over council resolutions. Hence the Governor can annul or suspend such acts.
