While a proclamation of emergency is in operation in the country, the state government:

a) Cannot legislate
b) Can legislate only on subjects in the Concurrent List
c) Can legislate on the subject in the state list
d) is suspended.







Ans-c
Explanation– After proclamation of the emergency under article 352 federal structure of the polity changes into unitary and centre can legislate on any matter of the state lists. These laws made on state subjects become inoperative after 6 months of the cease of emergency. It is to be noted that state legislatures are not suspended but rather normal distribution of legislative powers get suspended in emergency and become subject to overriding powers of the parliament.
