Question

With reference to the revocation of the national emergency, which one of the following statement is incorrect?

• A. President can revoke it on the advice of the Cabinet
  
  
• B. President can revoke it on the basis of resolution passed by Lok Sabha to that effect.
• C. If both houses of parliament do not approve it within a month, the emergency stands revoked.
  
  
• D. Rajya Sabha can revoke the emergency by special majority

Answer 1

The correct option is D Rajya Sabha can revoke the emergency by special majority

Under Article 352(8), Lok Sabha enjoys continuous control over emergency. If 1/10th of the members of the Lok Sabha write to the Speaker (or President, if house is not in session) for the revocation of the emergency, it becomes obligatory on the Speaker (or President) to convene a special session of the Lok Sabha within 14 days. If a resolution is passed in the Lok Sabha against the National Emergency, the President is bound to revoke it
