Which Constitutional Amendment restored the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court and the High Courts in judicial review and the issue of writs, after it had been curtailed by the 42nd Amendment?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 43rd
The 42nd Amendment (1976) cut down the power of the courts to review laws and issue writs. The 43rd Amendment (1977), passed by the Janata government, restored the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court and the High Courts in these matters by removing the articles the 42nd Amendment had added, such as Articles 32A and 226A.
