Abstract
The Constitution of India makes the provision that if a state under government fails to carry out the administration of the State in accordance with the provisions of constitution or is the State fails to run state administration according to constitutional directions of the central government, the President is empowered to declare failure of constitutional machinery in the State. If such declaration is made and emergency declared, the central government takes over the administration of the State. It will appoint an adviser or team of advisers which will help the central government to run State administration in the desired manner. Administratively the federal structure, for that particular State becomes unitary. By far the most widely criticized provisions of the Constitution, from the point of view of federalism, are those relating to emergencies. All the three types of emergencies envisaged respectively under Article 352, 356 and 360 authorise serious inroads into State autonomy. The present research paper makes a review of administrative relations during emergency in India.
