Article 356(1)(b) declares that when President’s Rule is proclaimed, “the powers of the Legislature of the State shall be exercisable by or under the authority of Parliament.” The Assembly is not automatically dissolved (it may be kept under suspended animation); Fundamental Rights under Article 19 are unaffected, and the President cannot unilaterally legislate except as Parliament authorises under Article 357.
