Part XVIII of the Constitution contains the Emergency Provisions, including national emergency Article 352, state emergency or Presidents Rule Article 356, and financial emergency Article 360. These provisions allow temporary concentration of power in the Union to deal with extraordinary situations. However, post-S.R. Bommai v. Union of India, the misuse of emergency powers has been significantly curtailed through judicial review. Fundamental Rights under Articles 20 and 21 remain non-suspendable even during emergencies after the 44th Amendment, reinforcing constitutional morality.
