Restriction on rights conferred by this Part while martial law is in force in any area
included in editionWhat does this mean?
Parliament can indemnify specified acts and validate certain measures connected with martial law in an area. The Article concerns that exceptional situation and is not the same as an ordinary emergency proclamation.
Enforceable constitutional rights, their limits, protective exceptions and the courts' remedies.
Why is this provision here?
It provides a specific legislative treatment of acts connected with the exceptional martial-law situation, rather than silently equating that situation with ordinary administration.
This Article number belongs to the original constitutional framework, but its present wording may include later amendments or substitutions. A provision-specific original Assembly debate has not been verified here. The explanation of function above is editorial inference from the text, not an attributed single motive of the framers. The original draft-making archive is a research resource, not proof of a particular historical reason.
The explanation of purpose is an editorial reading of the provision. A drafting motive is attributed only where a linked historical source supports it.
