The book traces, analyses and examines various dimensions of Article 356 which has become one of the most hotly debated topic of Indian Constitution. It discusses the idea of constitutionalism i.e. limited government and tries to demonstrate that by conferring too much power in the central government, Article 356 violates the most fundamental principle of the constitution. It examines the concept of federalism to show that article 356 will continue to create tensions between the centre and states. The book also discusses the origin of article 356 and the deliberations in the Constituent Assembly on this issue are critically examined. The book analyses the use and abuse of article 356 by the successive central governments. The book gives a legal analysis of various expressions used in article 356. The book also discusses the response of Indian judiciary on the issue and critically examines recent judicial pronouncements on this vital issue. t is hoped that the book will be of immense use and help to lawyers, judges, teachers, researchers and students.
