The President of India can proclaim Emergency on the written advice of:
-
A.
Council of Ministers
-
B.
Prime Minister
-
C.
Parliament
-
D.
Supreme Court
Correct Answer:
A. Council of Ministers
Explanation:
The Lok Sabha holds the exclusive power to pass a motion of no-confidence against the Council of Ministers, as the government is collectively responsible to this House. In contrast, the ratification of an Emergency proclamation requires the approval of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. Similarly, the power to impeach the President of India is shared by both Houses of Parliament, as either House can initiate the charges and the other investigates them. Therefore, among the options provided, only the passing of a no-confidence motion is a power unique to the Lok Sabha.
