		Moreover, Article 356 comes under the emergency provisions of the Constitution, which means that the extraordinary powers under this article are to be exercised rarely and only in extremely abnormal situations when the state assembly and the government are unable to function according to the provisions of the Constitution.
		Article 356 contains in it the Central power of a drastic nature to meet such an emergency situation as the breakdown of the constitutional machinery in a state.
		As noted earlier, under Article 356 a failure of constitutional machinery can be declared if the President, either on the basis of the report of the Governor or ‘otherwise’, is satisfied that a situation has arisen in which the government of the state cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution.

		By using Article 356 in flagrant violation of the Bommai judgment of the Supreme Court, the BJP has shown that it is prepared to use any Constitutional provision in a partisan and wilful manner.
		Article 356 is only an emergency measure to safeguard national unity and the democratic political system when they come under threat.
		The exercise of Article 356 is primarily a political act by the Central Government.

	The Hindu : Amending Article 356
		Article 356 gives the Centre the power to take over the functions of a State Government in the event of a failure of the constitutional machinery in that State.
		The Court's ruling that the Centre cannot dissolve State legislatures unless the proclamation under Article 356 (1) is approved by the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha has served as an effective restraint during a period when no party or combination of parties has enjoyed a majority in both Houses of Parliament.
		Among other things, such an amendment must ensure that, if used at all, the recourse to Article 356 must be a last resort — one that is embraced after exhausting the options provided by other Articles in the Constitution such as 256, 257 and, more importantly, 355.

		Article 356, to the extent it is relevant for the present discussion runs thus:
		In this connection it is worth noting Article 53 which states that the executive power of the Union shall be vested in the President and shall be exercised by him either directly or through officers subordinate to him in accordance with this Constitution.

	Living under the shadow of Article 370
		Article 370 is a special clause in Indian Constitution, a prize that was extracted out of India in 1950 by Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah for throwing his lot with India, after lengthy negotiations with Indian leaders.
		Thus Article 370 and other crucial constitutional issues were effectively negotiated ignoring the wishes of nearly half of the state's population which was non-Muslim, or from outside the valley.
		Article 370 was designed to maintain the separate character of valley Muslims at the expense of all other groups in the state, and at the expense of the stability and future of the subcontinent.

		Article 356 provides for the assumption of legislative and executive powers by the union in the state sphere, and article 360 provides for the giving of directions to a state on financial matters; they do not need recourse to articles 250 and 353.
		Under the former article the president can be satisfied that a situation has arisen in which the government of a state cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, “on receipt of a report from the governor of a state or otherwise”.
		Article 391 no longer exists (whatever the propriety of the deletion); 392 was of transitional significance; 364 is only about major ports and aerodromes; and the fifth schedule is exclusively about scheduled areas and tribes.

	On the Use of Death Penalty in t
		On November 4, 2003 the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Belarus decided to institute legal proceedings on the issue “On compliance of the articles of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus envisaging death penalty as punishment with the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus and international treaties of the Republic of Belarus”.
		According to Article 59 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus of 1999 the use of death penalty (execution) is allowed as an extraordinary measure of punishment for certain very grave crimes connected with premeditated murder under aggravating circumstances.
		The use of death penalty is motivated in all cases in the verdict on the basis of established circumstances of the committed crime and of the data exhaustively characterizing the accused, since the law allows but not demands the use of extraordinary measure of punishment for committing a very grave crime.

		Article 356 has been invoked more than 100 times since Indiaâs republican Constitution was adopted in 1950 â” a majority of the times for patently mala fide political purposes.
		Opposition to the use â” or misuse â” of 356, which empowers the Centre to dismiss a state government and impose Presidentâs rule in the event of âa breakdown of constitutional machineryâ, is based overwhelmingly not on a point of principle but on contingent historical circumstances.
		Instead, there has emerged a political consensus which favours the retention of the Article as a last-resort measure to ensure national unity and prevent extreme and wilful violations of constitutio-nal norms by state governments.

		This paper examines the rationale behind the invocation of this Article by almost every Government that came to power in India and its implications for the democratic fabric of India.
		The historical development of this Article helps us to gauge the rationale behind its inclusion in the original draft of the Constitution.
