What are the effects of a Proclamation of Emergency as per Article 353?
As per Article 353 of the Indian Constitution, when a Proclamation of Emergency is in effect, the executive power of the Union extends to giving directions to any State regarding the exercise of its executive power, and the power of Parliament to make laws with respect to any matter includes conferring powers and imposing duties on the Union or its officers and authorities. This allows the Union government to take necessary actions and make laws on matters that may not be covered under the Union List to address the emergency situation.
