What is martial law? Does India have martial law provisions?
India TodayMartial law—a term that often sparks curiosity and alarm—has recently surfaced in conversations about South Korea amid rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula. When martial law is enforced, civilian laws may be suspended, and the military takes over functions such as policing, judicial processes, and even governance. Many countries, including South Korea, the United States, the Philippines, Pakistan, and Thailand, have provisions for martial law in their constitutions or laws. In South Korea, martial law was infamously declared during the Gwangju Uprising in 1980 when pro-democracy protests were brutally suppressed under military rule. The Supreme Court has ruled that even during emergencies, certain rights, such as habeas corpus, cannot be suspended outright, indicating that any future invocation of martial law would still be subject to judicial scrutiny.
