    1. ‘Right against bundh called by a political party or organisation’ is covered under – Right to form associations or unions or co-operative societies. Marked wrong as I did not emphasize on “Political Party”
    2. Prohibition of Discrimination under article 15 – OBC Quota Act was enacted under this article.

    See, what firms do is to RESIDE in TAX HAVEN nations (such as Cyprus, Mauritius, etc) and have PRODUCTION in SOURCE nations such as India, so that they would avoid taxation in SOURCE nations, where taxes are RELATIVELY HIGH and have to pay low taxes in RESIDENCE NATION.
    New DTAA provides that TAXATION will take place where there is SOURCE of PRODUCTION.
    I hope it is clear now

    – Are available against all of the arbitrary actions of private individuals
    Please take care of – ” ALL ARBITRARY ACTIONS of individuals” – if it would not have been ALL – 2 would have been correct.
    Right against UNTOUCHABILITY – If pvt individual is engaged in such practice as considered to be defined as UNTOUCHABILITY under art 17 – then that individual will be under scanner of violation of FR.
    But, let’s say pvt firm does not provide equal opportunity to candidates – it does not employ you, but you are more capable than others – it is a part of ARBITRARY ACTION by that firm – then for this ARBITRARY ACTION , you do not have FR as per article 16.
    Wording of article 16 – it provides for equality of opportuniy for all citizens in matters of employment or appointment or office under the STATE.

    I hope, I made it clear for you.

    read article 13(3) law includes any Ordinance, order, bye law, rule, regulation, notification, custom or usages having in the territory of India the force of law; laws in force includes laws passed or made by Legislature or other competent authority in the territory of India before the commencement of this Constitution and not previously repealed, notwithstanding that any such law or any part thereof may not be then in operation either at all or in particular areas

    Interesting. Thanks for the clarification.

  18. Sorry Q no . 3 is answered wrongly

  19. Q no 2 answered wrongly

  20. Yes. Constitutional Amendment is not a law and can be used to curtail FR; Article 13 (4). Constitutional Amendment can not be challenged for mere infringement of rights unless those rights for a part of basic structure.

  21. Laws apply within the territory of country. If an alien commits crime in India, he/she will be tried under India law, excepts for people having diplomatic immunity. Italian marine case is in example; India asserts the shooting took place in India’s territorial waters, hence marines will face trail in India. Italy claimed the shooting tool place in international waters, hence they will be tried at home.

    Article 14 mentions persons (hence covering foreigners) while 15, 16, 19, 29 and 30 use the word citizen.

  22. Yes lord u are right.. some misunderstanding i had wrt that.. ordinance are laws and in no way can the ordinance abridge our funtamental rights too..
    In context of repromulgation, it is exe overreach.. thanks????
    And wrt to art15,16,19,29,30- they are explicitly stated in the articles in question itself, if u go thru the article text..

    They are not suspended during the operation of National emergency, but the right to move to the court in case these Fundamental rights are violated is suspended as per the order of President (Article 359).
    3rd one is obviously wrong – Article 17 : Right against UNTOUCHABILITY is available against arbitrary action of individuals also.

  25. 3,4 and 5 …u think the answers to these questions are correct ?

    1. yes it applies to foreigners, so constitution maintains difference between citizen and person in FR’s
    2. OBC in Educational institutions through 15(4) and employment through 16(4)
    3. No problem with ordinance question as they can be voided also, only problem with CA

    You are right, after SC judgement on Keshavananda Bharati, Parliament has power to take away FR only in consistence with Basic Doctrine, i just thought of golaknath case and marked it, and unfortunately forum also made mistake and i got 5 correct 😀

  34. Thanks @Niharika:disqus for reply, got the second part.
    What about the first part? As parliament can make laws to enforce the DPSP and then violation of this law which is inspired from DPSP becomes enforceable. For example 73rd and 74th amendment act to give effect to panchayati raj and munisipality respectively. WDYT???

  35. oh thanks for drawing attention to this.ye additional requriement wali baat notice nhi ki thi.
    another conclusion would be not all fundamental rights are part of basic structure..

  40. which are the doubtful answers bhai?

  41. Q3 , answer should be both .
    Laws inconsistent with FRs include : temporary laws like ordinances and also SC ruled in Kesavanada case that a constitutional amendment can be challenged if it violates any FRs which from the ‘Basic structure’ – Freedom , Principle of equality

    Agreed. But where in the Constitution is it mentioned? I can’t recall which section, please cite.

    13(3):: “…unless the context otherwise requires law includes any Ordinance, order, bye law, rule, regulation, notification, custom or usages having in the territory of India the force of law.”

    Ordinances are laws independently, whether or not they are approved. The day they are taken away is the day Central Government loses all control on States and India’s federal polity collapses.

    And you have wrong information. SC hasn’t ruled any such thing on ordinances.

    SC has only ruled that repromulgating ordinances without getting them passed is executive overreach, definitely not a true ban yet.

    Right against bundh called by a political party or organisation
    Logically, yes there is some kind of association formation. Whether one wants to join this association (as a means of protest) or not – is FR of a person. Your logic looks solid.
    I was just going through Lakshmikanth – there it is given under implicit meanings of ”Freedom of speech and expression” – It can also be thought of as an expression of person – not to support any political bundh.
    Let some polity specialist clarify

    Keshvanandan Bharti case – SC held Art 24 as valid – which stated that word ‘LAW’ does not include Const amendment. But additional requirement was CA should not violate basic features of the constitution.
    So, answer should be A
    So, if wordings of judgement are carefully interpreted, one can come to the conclusion, that Law does not include const amendment.
    You can read it further in laksmikanth – chapter on Amendment to the constitution – BASIC STRUCTURE Doctrine evolution.

  57. 1) eg : the ordinance saying that 500n1000 note would not be liability……

  58. I think both 1 n 2 should be answer.
    1) if ordinances are not laws then how come demonetization took place.
    2) if CA is not law then how can SC say that it can be declared as null and void

  59. A) our constitution explicitly mentions article 15,16,19,29,30 to be exclusive to the citizens and not foreigners.. they apply to them as our constitution beleives in equality before law, equal protection of law irrespective of person belonging to any religion,race, caste sex, birth place

  60. Mere se aap dono theek ho 😛

  61. Ordinances become laws recognised under article 13 once approved by the parliament.. they are not laws independently.. this can be linked to the ongoing debate wrt the executive intruding in the parliamentary powers by repromulgating the ordinances, tht sc clearly mandated to be unconstitutional..

    Question has two themes , if stressed on is it law or not , yes constitutional amendment is not a law , but soul of article 13 is making such laws void which are such , in keshvanand bharti case S.C said that they can be declared void if violating fundamental right.

    i think answer should be c as in lakshikant p-7.3…..says that in savananda bharti case 1973 the constitution amendment can be challenged on ground of violation of FR that forms part of basic structure….

    Q 3 both 1&2

  79. Constitutional amendent acts are not law under article 13. Parliament has 2 powers: ordinary legislative powers and constituent powers. Acc to 25 th constitutional amendment, the govt ruled tht fundamental rights can be amended but they are not laws under article 13, the sc in keshavnanda bharti case upheld the same. Only ordinary laws are under the domain of article 13

    its kk…bhai…..chalta hai yaar,,,,,revision nhi kiya to aise hi hota h

  81. i think, ordinance are not laws under the article 13 of the constitution unless they are approved by parliament after both houses reassemble follwoing which they qualify as law under the definition of law u/a13. Ordinance is a temporary adjustments made by executive exclusive of legislative arm tht is constitutionally empowered for the job..
    Ordinance are subjected to judicial review.

  85. Yes I have read that part of Lakshmikant. But then, if you read the previous page whereby certain fundamental rights can indeed be suspended during emergencies, then the situation becomes dicey. Waise I agree with the answer being (a), but just for the sake of justifying what might have been going on in the paper setters mind, i have put forth the argument.

    So, answer should be A

  88. Answer is D only.

    Justification: Take an example where a temporary ordinance is passed which is against certain fundamental rights. Now consider that this is happening during a national emergency, hence it will not be void for the duration of the temporary period.
