Can a state impose its own Proclamation of Emergency?
No, a state cannot impose its own Proclamation of Emergency. The power to declare a Proclamation of Emergency is vested only in the President of India as per Article 352. While a Proclamation of Emergency is in operation, the executive power of the Union extends to giving directions to any State as to how its executive power should be exercised (Article 353(a)). Additionally, Parliament gains the power to make laws concerning matters not listed in the Union List, even if they are under the purview of a state. Therefore, only the President has the authority to declare an emergency, and states cannot impose their own Proclamation of Emergency.
