What is the role of the Election Commission in the continuation of a Proclamation under Article 356 beyond one year?
The Election Commission plays a crucial role in the continuation of a Proclamation under Article 356 beyond one year. A resolution to extend the Proclamation beyond one year can only be passed by both Houses of Parliament if a Proclamation of Emergency is in operation and the Election Commission certifies that the continuance in force of the Proclamation is necessary due to difficulties in holding general elections to the Legislative Assembly of the concerned State.
