Which of the following statements is false?

  • A.Art 360 empowers the President to proclaim a Financial Emergency.
  • B.The satisfaction of President in declaring the Financial Emergency is beyond Judicial Review.
  • C.The Financial Emergency once approved by both the Houses of the Parliament, continues indefinitely till revoked.
  • D.Revocation of Financial Emergency does not require Parliamentary approval.

Answer: B

The false statement is The satisfaction of President in declaring the Financial Emergency is beyond Judicial Review.

The 38th Amendment (1975) made the President's satisfaction under Article 360 final and beyond challenge, but the 44th Amendment (1978) deleted that clause. The proclamation can therefore be reviewed by the courts.

The other statements are correct. Article 360 is the power to proclaim a Financial Emergency. Once both Houses approve it within two months, it continues indefinitely without further approval until it is revoked. The President can revoke it at any time by a later proclamation, which needs no parliamentary approval.
