Can you provide an example of how this rule has been used in practice?
In practice, the rule has been used to authorize expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of the State when the House of the People is not in session and pending the sanction of such expenditure by Parliament. This typically happens during emergencies or crises when prompt action is needed but the legislative body is not available for decision-making. In these cases, the President can authorize the expenditure to ensure that necessary actions are taken to address the situation at hand.
