What is the role of the President in suspending the enforcement of rights during emergencies?
The role of the President in suspending the enforcement of rights during emergencies is to declare, by order, that certain specified rights under Part III (except articles 20 and 21) will remain suspended for the period when a Proclamation of Emergency is in operation or for a shorter period specified in the order. Additionally, while such an order is in effect, nothing in Part III restricts the power of the State to make any law or take any executive action which it would be competent to make or take but for the provisions contained in that part.
