Union executive authority expanded during emergency, permitting directions to states and broader parliamentary legislation beyond usual subjects. While a Proclamation of Emergency is in operation, the executive power of the Union extends to giving directions to any State about how its executive power is to be exercised, and Parliament's law making power includes making laws that confer powers on or impose duties upon the Union or its officers in respect of matters not normally in the Union List. If the Proclamation applies only to part of the territory, those Union powers may extend to other States insofar as security is threatened by activities connected to the emergency area.
