Consider the following statements with reference to the Constitution of India :
- 1.There is no Article in the Constitution of India that specifies that the Constitution of India will be officially called the 'Constitution of India'.
- 2.There is no Article in the Constitution of India that specifies that the Indian Independence Act, 1947 and the Government of India Act, 1935 stand repealed.
- 3.There is no Article in the Constitution of India that mentions 26th January, 1950 as the date of the commencement of the Constitution of India.
Which one of the following conclusions based on the above statements is correct ?
Show answer
Answer: B. All three statements are false. Article 393 says the Constitution may be called the Constitution of India. Article 395 repeals the Indian Independence Act, 1947 and the Government of India Act, 1935. Article 394 says the remaining provisions come into force on 26 January 1950. So there is no correct statement.
Watch for: Students rarely read the last few Articles (393-395) and assume these points are not written down.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because each statement is contradicted by an Article.
- C. Wrong because statement 3 is false (Article 394 mentions 26 January 1950).
- D. Wrong because none of the three statements is correct.
