Legislative Checks on Emergency Powers

Statement 3 is correct. Under Article 352 (as amended by the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1978), Parliament must approve the proclamation within one month. Statement 1 is incorrect because forced revocation belongs solely to the Lok Sabha, not the Rajya Sabha. Statement 2 is incorrect as approval demands a Special Majority, not a simple one, and the timeframe is one month, not sixty days.

Both A and R are true, and R is the logical explanation for A. Pursuant to the safeguards introduced by the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act (1978) into Article 352, if the Lok Sabha passes a resolution disapproving the continuation of the emergency, the President is constitutionally bound to revoke it.

Option 2 is correct. As per Article 352 of the Constitution, a National Emergency must be approved by BOTH Houses of Parliament using a SPECIAL majority within one month. The scenario's reliance on a simple majority and bypassing the Rajya Sabha violates these explicit statutory requirements.

Two statements are correct (the first and second). According to Article 352 (post-44th Amendment), approval requires a special majority within one month. The third statement is the distractor; the power to pass a binding disapproval resolution is granted exclusively to the Lok Sabha, denying the Rajya Sabha equal footing in revocation.
