The correct answer is Option 1 - Only Statement 'A' is incorrect. Statement A- The judiciary has the powers and responsibility to protect the fundamental rights from violations by actions of the people of the country but not the government. (INCORRECT)
Correction in the incorrect statement: The judiciary has the powers and responsibility to protect the fundamental rights from violations by actions of the government. Executive as well as legislative actions can be declared illegal by the judiciary if these violate the fundamental rights or restrict them in an unreasonable manner. However, fundamental rights are not absolute or unlimited rights. Government can put reasonable restrictions on the exercise of our fundamental rights. |
