Constitution is the fundamental law, which regulates the administration of the country. Part XVIII of the Constitution of India has incorporated emergency provisions. This part of the Indian Constitution has been the subject of severe criticism than any other provisions. Nowhere was the tension between the precarious political reality and fundamental rights more evident than in the Assembly’s discussion of emergency powers. Most of the objections have originated from the fear that the emergency provisions are not in conformity with the democratic ethos of the constitution. At the same time many of the members of the Constituent Assembly preferred to incorporate emergency provisions keeping in view the vulnerability and disruptive forces engaging the young nation including partition and the communal fall out, poverty, minority issues, problem of princely states etc. Constitution was equipped with the necessary power and authority to respond to in the hour of emergency and to protect the security, integrity and stability of the country and effective functioning of State Governments.
