Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following Fundamental Rights cannot be suspended during the period of proclamation of a National Emergency?
Correct
Articles 358 and 359 of the Constitution of India describe the effect of a National Emergency on the Fundamental Rights.
According to Article 358, when a proclamation of National Emergency is made, the six Fundamental Rights under Article 19 are automatically suspended. No separate order for their suspension is required.
Article 359 authorises the President to suspend the right to move any court for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights during a National Emergency. This means that under Article 359, the Fundamental Rights as such are not suspended, but only their enforcement.
However, the 44th Amendment Act of 1978 restricted the scope of Article 359 in two ways. Firstly, the President cannot suspend the right to move the Court for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights guaranteed by Article 20 (Right to protection in respect of conviction for offences) and Article 21 (Right to life and personal liberty). Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.Incorrect
