- True
- False
Answer: True
Emergency revocation procedure: (a) Article 352(2)(b): President can revoke Emergency proclamation anytime by subsequent proclamation, (b) No Parliamentary approval needed for revocation: Unlike imposition/extension which require Parliamentary approval, revocation is executive decision, (c) Rationale: Enable swift restoration of normalcy when threat abates; avoid legislative delay in ending Emergency, (d) Safeguards: (i) Revocation based on objective assessment of threat cessation, (ii) Subject to political accountability (Parliament can question executive), (iii) Judicial review if revocation mala fide or violates constitutional standards, (e) Balance: Executive flexibility to end Emergency vs. democratic oversight of imposition/extension. Illustrates calibrated design: easier to end Emergency than start/extend it, incentivizing crisis resolution over perpetuation.
