Editing President's rule (section)

===Jammu and Kashmir===
Until the [[Revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir|revocation of special status]] and [[Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act, 2019|bifurcation]] into two Union territories, President's rule applied after the application of Governor's rule under the [[Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir|erstwhile state's constitution]] for 6 months.

After the revocation and bifurcation, the reorganized union territory of Jammu and Kashmir is subject to the section 73 of the [[Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act, 2019]], which is used to impose President's rule as the Article 356 is not applicable to Union Territories. The provision states:
{{blockquote|<b>73.</b> If the President, on receipt of a report from the Lieutenant Governor of Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, or otherwise, is satisfied,—

''(a)'' that a situation has arisen in which the administration of the Union territory
of Jammu and Kashmir cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of this
Act, or

''(b)'' that for the proper administration of Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir it
is necessary or expedient so to do,

the President may, by order, suspend the operation of all or any of the provisions of this Act
for such period as he thinks fit and makes such incidental and consequential provisions as
may appear to him to be necessary or expedient for administering the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir in accordance with the provisions of this Act.}}
