Question

Which of the following Amendment Acts made provision of judicial review against the presidential proclamation imposing President’s Rule under Article 356?

• A. 38th Amendment Act
• B. 44th Amendment Act
• C. 42nd Amendment Act
• D. 46th Amendment Act

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 44th Amendment Act

The 38th Amendment Act of 1975 made the satisfaction of the President in invoking Article 356 final and conclusive which could not be challenged in any court on any ground. But, this provision was subsequently deleted by the 44th Amendment Act of 1978 implying that the satisfaction of the President is not beyond judicial review.
