The constitutional status of Jammu and Kashmir was removed by which amendment?
-
A.
42nd Amendment
-
B.
44th Amendment
-
C.
370th Amendment
-
D.
None of the above
Correct Answer:
D. None of the above
Explanation:
The special status of Jammu and Kashmir was not removed by a specific numbered constitutional amendment but through a Presidential Order. On August 5, 2019, the President of India issued the Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order, 2019 (C.O. 272), which superseded the 1954 Order and made all provisions of the Indian Constitution applicable to the state. This effectively rendered Article 370 inoperative and was followed by the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, which bifurcated the state into two Union Territories. Since none of the specific amendments listed (42nd or 44th) performed this action, the correct option is None of the above.
