Abstract

Emergency provisions are a set of provisions in the Indian Constitution that are designed to protect the nation’s integrity and its people during times of emergency. Emergency provisions are an essential part of the Constitution of India. The Constitution of India is a living document that is designed to protect the country and its people in times of emergency. These emergency provisions are a proof that the founders of the Constitution were well aware of the need for emergency powers in the event of an emergency.This is why it could be perfect to say that Part XVIII is an innovation in Indian Constitution.
