  The Telegraph - Calcutta : Nation
The constitutional question on a governor’s power to pardon convicts was brought before the apex court by the Andhra Pradesh government, which had challenged an order of the state high court.
The high court had said the “general remission” of sentence granted by the governor to convicts in different categories was also valid for two persons who were serving their sentence in Andhra jails for offences committed in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.
The bench held that the “power to grant remission by a governor under Article 161 of the Constitution could not extend to those prisoners who were convicted by courts not within the jurisdiction of the state”.

 The Week   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Governors of states frequently end up acting as agents of the political party they owe their appointments to rather than as constitutional heads.
The Sarkaria Commission noted, for instance, that of 298 Governors appointed between 1967 and 1986, only 18 completed their full five-year term: 88 lasted less than a year, 71 for one year, 55 for two years, 40 for three years and 26 for four.
One consequence of this has been a rekindling of the debate on the raison d’être of the office of Governor and the natural reference to the Constitution-makers’ wisdom or lack of it for foisting on the poor tax-payer a bunch of white elephants.

Concerns that the governor would act at the behest of the party in power in New Delhi - rather than act as a bridge between the Centre and the state - were articulated even when the Drafting Committee, led by BR Ambedkar, sat to frame the Constitution.
He favoured a "consensus" on the gubernatorial appointee while referring to the controversy about the selection of governors and the confusion over their tenures - which is five years, according to Article 156 (b) of the Constitution and is dependent on presidential "pleasure" according to 156 (a).
A five judge Constitution bench had, in the Hargovind Pant vs Raghukul Tilak case in 1979, held that the governor’s office is not an employment under the Government of India and the governor is not subordinate or subservient to or under the control of the Centre while carrying out his duties.
