Option 1 : 1 only

The correct answer is option 1

  • On the 44th Amendment act of 1978, when an emergency was approved it continues for 6 months. Hence statement 1 is incorrect.
  • The emergency can be extended to an indefinite period (approval every 6 months)
  • The proclamation of emergency must be approved by both the houses of parliament within one month from the date of its issue. Hence statement 2 is correct.
  • Before the 44th amendment act, there is no provision for extending an emergency, once approved it can be for an indefinite period until it is revoked by the president.
