Govt's power to promulgate, repromulgate Ordinances why and how

Answer

From the given news excerpt, we can deduce that:

  1. The ordinances can only be promulgated when both Houses of the Parliament are not in session.
  2. All Ordinances must be put up before both the Houses for their approval. Ordinances cease to operate after six weeks from the re-assembly of Parliament, unless they are approved by the Houses.
