What is the difference between a Proclamation under Article 356 and other powers granted to the President or Parliament?
The difference between a Proclamation under Article 356 and other powers granted to the President or Parliament is that, under Article 356, the President can declare an emergency in a State when the government of the State cannot be carried on according to the provisions of the Constitution. This power allows the President to assume control over the administration of the State and temporarily suspend the state legislature and its powers. In contrast, other powers granted to the President or Parliament do not involve declaring an emergency or suspending a state's legislature; instead, they typically involve authorizing expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of the State pending the sanction of such expenditure by Parliament.
