These Fundamental Rights can be suspended during an emergency by the President of India under Article 359. Hence, Option 1 is correct. There is legal precedent for fundamental rights. A person may appeal to the Supreme Court for the implementation of these rights under Article 32 of the Constitution.

Explain National Emergency

The emergency provisions are found in Articles 352 to 360 of Part XVIII of the Indian Constitution. These laws give the Central government the ability to handle any unusual event successfully. War, external attack, or armed revolt are all grounds for declaring a national emergency. In the Constitution, a situation of this nature is referred to as a proclamation of emergency.

Grounds of Emergency Declaration:

  • When war, external aggression, or armed rebellion threatens the security of India or a portion of it, the president is authorized by Article 352 to proclaim a national emergency.
  • Even before a war, armed insurrection, or external assault takes place, the President may declare a national emergency.
  • The term External Emergency refers to a national emergency that is declared due to war or external attack.
  • On the other hand, it is referred to as an internal emergency when it is declared due to an armed insurrection.
  • The 44th amendment introduces the phrase armed revolt. It was previously referred to as an internal disturbance.
