Under the Constitution of India as it stands today, within how much time must a Proclamation of Emergency under Article 352 be approved by both Houses of Parliament?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → One month
A Proclamation of National Emergency is issued by the President and must be approved by resolutions of both Houses of Parliament within one month, or it ceases to operate. The original limit was two months; the 44th Amendment (1978) reduced it to one month. No prior approval of Parliament is needed.
