How does this rule impact the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches of government at the state level?
This rule impacts the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches of government at the state level by allowing the President to authorise expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of the State when the House of the People is not in session. This authority, which is granted through a Proclamation under Article 356, may have been beyond the scope of what Parliament or the President would typically be able to do without such an authorization. After the Proclamation ceases to operate, any law made during its existence continues in force until altered, repealed, or amended by a competent legislature or other authority.
