How does a Proclamation of Emergency impact the power of Parliament to make laws with respect to any matter when it is in operation only in part of India's territory?
When a Proclamation of Emergency is in operation only in part of India's territory, the power of Parliament to make laws with respect to any matter includes the power to make laws conferring powers and imposing duties, or authorising the conferring of powers and the imposition of duties, upon the Union or officers and authorities of the Union as respects that matter, notwithstanding that it is one which is not enumerated in the Union List. This means that when an emergency is declared for a specific region in India, the Parliament can make laws to extend the executive power of the Union over that region and confer powers upon the Union or its officers and authorities to deal with the situation during the emergency period.
