UPSC 2003: Under which Article of the Indian Constitution did the President give his assent to the ordinance on electoral reforms when it was sent back to him by the Union Cabinet without making any changes (in the year 2002)?
(a)Article 121
(b)Article 122
(c)Article 123
(d)Article 124
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Article 123
Article 123 empowers the President to promulgate an ordinance when Parliament is not in session; if the Cabinet advises re-promulgation, the President is constitutionally bound to assent. The 2002 electoral-reforms ordinance was thus cleared under Article 123, not under Articles 121, 122 or 124 which deal with other parliamentary matters.
