Late on 25 June 1975, President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed signed a proclamation declaring that a grave emergency existed whereby the security of India was threatened by internal disturbance. Indira Gandhi recommended it in a letter to the President that night, in which she wrote that she had not consulted the Cabinet because of the urgency. The Shah Commission recorded that the Cabinet Secretary, the Home Secretary and the Law Minister learned of the proclamation only on the morning of 26 June, when a Cabinet meeting was held at 6 a.m. On 27 June a Presidential order under Article 359(1) suspended the right to move any court to enforce Articles 14, 21 and 22.
