What is the role of both Houses of Parliament in passing a resolution to continue a Proclamation beyond one year from its issue date?
The role of both Houses of Parliament in passing a resolution to continue a Proclamation beyond one year from its issue date is that they must pass the resolution if certain conditions are met. These conditions include: (a) a Proclamation of Emergency must be in operation in the whole of India or, as the case may be, in the whole or any part of the State at the time of passing the resolution; and (b) the Election Commission must certify that the continuance in force of the Proclamation approved under clause (3) during the period specified in such resolution is necessary on account of difficulties in holding general elections to the Legislative Assembly of the State concerned.
