Both of the given statements are correct regarding Article 27 of the Indian Constitution.
Article 27 of the Constitution of India states that no person shall be compelled to pay any taxes, the proceeds of which are specifically appropriated in payment of expenses for the promotion or maintenance of any particular religion or religious denomination.
Thus, the second statement is correct. Additionally, Article 27 also prohibits the State from favoring any particular religion or religious denomination by law or by financial aid, making the first statement also correct.

-
Absence of arbitrary power:
- As previously noted, the Indian Constitution ensures the absence of arbitrary power through a system of checks and balances and the rule of law.
-
Equality before law:
- Article 14 of the Indian Constitution guarantees equality before the law and equal protection of the laws, confirming this principle applies to the Indian Constitution.
-
Constitution is the result of the rights of the individual as defined and enforced by the courts of law:
- This statement suggests that the Constitution itself emerged from the judicial enforcement and definition of individual rights. This interpretation is somewhat problematic in the context of the Indian Constitution because the Constitution was drafted and adopted by the Constituent Assembly. It is a foundational document that outlines the rights of individuals, but it is not a result of pre-existing rights defined by courts. Instead, it establishes these rights.
-
Constitution is the source of the individual rights:
- This is correct for the Indian Constitution, as it provides a comprehensive list of fundamental rights and mechanisms for their protection.
Given this, the statement that the "Constitution is the result of the rights of the individual as defined and enforced by the courts of law" does not accurately describe the Indian Constitution. The Indian Constitution itself is the source and origin of individual rights, rather than a product of pre-existing judicially enforced rights.
Correct Elements:
- Absence of arbitrary power
- Equality before law
- Constitution is the source of the individual rights
Therefore, the correct option remains:
2. 1, 2 and 4 Only

Amit Sharma answered |
Explanation: The Kesavananda Bharti case (1973) marked a significant event in the Indian constitutional history, as the Supreme Court ruled that Constitutional Amendments were also laws under Article 368 of the Constitution of India. The Court held that these amendments could be declared void if they were inconsistent with or violated the Fundamental Rights. This judgment established the doctrine of the "Basic Structure" of the Constitution, which means that Parliament cannot alter the basic features of the Constitution through amendments.

Background:
Women's suffrage was a long and hard-fought battle, spanning over several decades. Women's rights activists fought tirelessly for the right to vote, own property, and have equal rights as men. The movement gained momentum in the late 19th century, and several countries began granting women the right to vote.
Details:
1. Australia: In 1902, Australia became the first country to give women the right to vote in federal elections. This was a significant victory for the women's suffrage movement, and it paved the way for other countries to follow suit.
2. New Zealand: New Zealand followed closely behind, granting women the right to vote in 1893.
3. Finland: Finland was the first European country to give women the right to vote in 1906.

Deepa Iyer answered |
The concept of martial law has been borrowed in India from the English common law. However, the expression ‘martial law' has not been defined anywhere in the Constitution. It means “military rule'. It refers to a situation where civil administration is run by the military authorities according to their own rules and regulations framed outside the ordinary law. It thus implies the suspension of ordinary law and the government by military tribunals. It is different from military law that applies to the armed forces.

The American Constitution provides for 'due process of law' against that of 'procedure established by law' which is contained in the Indian Constitution.
The difference between the two is : The 'Procedure established by law' gives wide scope to the Supreme Court to grant protection to the rights of its citizens.
The difference between the two is : The 'Procedure established by law' gives wide scope to the Supreme Court to grant protection to the rights of its citizens.
It can declare laws violative of these rights void not only on substantive grounds of being unlawful but also on procedural grounds of being unreasonable.
Our Supreme Court, while determining the constitutionally of a law, however examines only the substantive question i.e whether the law is within the powers of the authority concerned or not. It is not expected to go into the question of its reasonableness, suitability or policy implications".

Explanation:
The Fundamental Rights in the Indian Constitution have been taken from the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution of India guarantees six fundamental rights to its citizens. These rights are similar to the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution. The six fundamental rights are:
1. Right to Equality: This includes equality before the law, prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth, and equality of opportunity in matters of employment, education, and public appointment.
2. Right to Freedom: This includes freedom of speech and expression, freedom of assembly, freedom to form associations or unions, freedom of movement, freedom to reside and settle in any part of the country, and freedom to practice any profession or occupation.
3. Right against Exploitation: This includes prohibition of trafficking in human beings and forced labor, and prohibition of child labor.
4. Right to Freedom of Religion: This includes freedom of conscience and free profession, practice, and propagation of religion.
5. Cultural and Educational Rights: This includes the right of any section of citizens to conserve their culture, language or script, and the right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.
6. Right to Constitutional Remedies: This includes the right to move the Supreme Court or High Court for the enforcement of fundamental rights.
Conclusion:
The makers of the Indian Constitution were greatly influenced by the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The fundamental rights in the Indian Constitution are an important part of the democratic framework of India and protect the citizens from any kind of discrimination or exploitation.

- This case expressed disagreement with the finding in the earlier case of Mohini Jain v State of Karnataka 1992.
- The 86th constitutional amendment inserted Article 21 A into the Indian constitution.
- Article 21 A says that the state shall provide free and compulsory education to all children in the age-group of 6-14.

Understanding the Rule of Law by A.V. Dicey
The concept of the 'Rule of Law' is fundamental in constitutional law, as articulated by A.V. Dicey, a British jurist. His interpretation emphasizes certain critical elements that ensure justice and equality in governance.
Absence of Arbitrary Power
- Core Principle: The absence of arbitrary power is a cornerstone of the Rule of Law. This principle asserts that no individual or authority is above the law, ensuring that all actions taken by the government are subject to legal scrutiny.
- Legal Framework: Laws must be clear, publicized, and stable, and they should apply equally to all individuals, including government officials. This prevents the misuse of power and protects citizens from arbitrary decisions.
- Accountability: When authorities operate within a legal framework, it fosters accountability. Citizens can challenge government actions in courts, which acts as a safeguard against tyranny.
Other Options Explained
- Immunity of the President and Governors: While some legal immunities exist, they do not encapsulate the essence of the Rule of Law, which seeks to ensure that all individuals are subject to the law.
- Exception for Members of Parliament: Similar to the previous point, the exceptions provided for parliamentarians do not align with the principle of equal applicability of law.
- Right to Property: Although important, the right to property is a specific legal entitlement rather than a foundational principle of the Rule of Law.
Conclusion
In summary, the absence of arbitrary power is integral to A.V. Dicey's Rule of Law. It ensures that governance is conducted within the bounds of legality, promoting justice and accountability in society.

Understanding Article 25 and Article 26 of the Indian Constitution
Article 25 and Article 26 of the Indian Constitution deal with the freedom of religion and the rights of individuals and communities regarding their religious practices.
Statement-I: Article 25
- Article 25 guarantees individuals the right to:
- Freely profess religion
- Practice religion
- Propagate religion
- This statement is correct as it outlines the fundamental right to religious freedom in India.
Statement-II: Article 26
- Article 26 provides that:
- Every religious denomination has the right to:
- Establish and maintain institutions for religious and charitable purposes
- Manage its own affairs in matters of religion
- However, the statement "no person shall be compelled to pay any taxes for the promotion of any particular religion" is not explicitly mentioned in Article 26. Instead, this principle is generally derived from the broader framework of religious freedom and secularism in the Constitution.
Conclusion
- Since Statement-I accurately describes Article 25, but Statement-II misinterprets the provisions related to taxation and religious promotion, the correct evaluation is:
- Statement-I is correct, but Statement-II is incorrect.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Arpita Khanna answered |
Explanation:
Statement-I:
- Article 23 of the Indian Constitution indeed prohibits traffic in human beings and forced labor. This means that any form of trafficking of individuals or forcing someone to work against their will is prohibited under this provision.
Statement-II:
- Article 23(1) specifically prohibits traffic in human beings and forms of forced labor. This means that any kind of exploitation through trafficking or forced labor is strictly prohibited.
- Article 23(2), on the other hand, allows for compulsory service for public purposes but without any discrimination based on religion, race, caste, or class. This means that while forced labor is prohibited, there are certain exceptions for compulsory service for public welfare, as long as it is not discriminatory.
Therefore, Statement-I is correct as it accurately reflects the prohibition of traffic in human beings and forced labor under Article 23. However, Statement-II is incorrect as it misinterprets the provisions of Article 23 by suggesting that it allows for compulsory service without mentioning the non-discriminatory clause.

Talent Triumphacademy answered |
Statement-I correctly summarizes Article 27 of the Indian Constitution, which indeed specifies that no individual should be compelled to pay taxes for the promotion or maintenance of any particular religion or religious denomination. This provision ensures the secular nature of the state.
However, Statement-II is incorrect. Article 28 of the Indian Constitution actually deals with the attendance of religious instruction in educational institutions. It states that no religious instruction shall be provided in State-run educational institutions, and individuals attending such institutions should not be compelled to partake in religious instruction or worship without their consent. Therefore, Statement-II inaccurately represents the content of Article 28.
This makes option (c) the correct answer, as Statement-I is accurate while Statement-II is not in alignment with the constitutional provision.

A remedy under Article 32 is in itself a Fundamental Right and hence, the Supreme Court may not refuse to exercise its writ jurisdiction. On the other hand, a remedy under Article 226 is discretionary and hence, a high court may refuse to exercise its writ jurisdiction. Article 32 does not merely confer power on the Supreme Court as Article 226 does on a high court to issue writs for the enforcement of fundamental rights or other rights as part of its general jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court is thus constituted as a defender and guarantor of the fundamental rights.

The provision of the Fundamental Rights that is directly related to the exploitation of children is Article 24. This article prohibits the employment of children below the age of 14 years in any hazardous occupations or processes.
Explanation:
- Article 24 of the Indian Constitution states that "No child below the age of fourteen years shall be employed to work in any factory or mine or engaged in any other hazardous employment."
- This provision recognizes the vulnerability of children and aims to protect them from exploitation and physical harm.
- The exploitation of children in hazardous occupations can have severe consequences on their health, well-being, and overall development.
- By explicitly stating that children below the age of 14 should not be employed in hazardous industries, Article 24 seeks to safeguard their rights and ensure their safety.
- This provision aligns with the principles of child rights and international conventions such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which India is a signatory to.
- The intent behind Article 24 is to protect children from engaging in work that could potentially harm their physical and mental development.
- It recognizes the importance of education and the need for children to have a safe and nurturing environment for their growth.
- The enforcement of Article 24 is crucial in preventing child labor and ensuring that children are not subjected to exploitative working conditions.
- Additionally, the Constitution provides for the Right to Education under Article 21A, which further reinforces the importance of providing children with access to education and preventing their exploitation through child labor.
In conclusion, Article 24 of the Indian Constitution directly addresses the issue of child exploitation by prohibiting the employment of children below the age of 14 in hazardous occupations. This provision aims to safeguard the rights and well-being of children and ensure their protection from exploitative working conditions.

The writ of prohibition is a judicial writ issued by a higher court to a lower court or tribunal, commanding it to cease proceedings in a case that is outside its jurisdiction. It is generally not available against administrative authorities or legislative bodies because:
- Quasi-judicial authorities: The writ of prohibition can be issued against quasi-judicial bodies when they act without jurisdiction or exceed their jurisdiction.
- Administrative authorities: The writ of prohibition is not typically issued against purely administrative actions, as they do not perform judicial or quasi-judicial functions.
- Legislative bodies: The writ of prohibition cannot be issued to legislative bodies since the judiciary does not have the authority to intervene in legislative functions.
Thus, the writ of prohibition is not available against administrative authority and legislative body, making option b the correct answer.

Article 17- Abolition of Untouchability:
- Untouchability is abolished and its practice in any form is forbidden.
- In fact, the enforcement of any disability arising out of untouchability shall be an offense punishable in accordance with the law.
- Abolition of untouchability has been included among the fundamental rights under article17.
- In fact, this is one of the few fundamental rights which is available against individuals.
- To make an untouchability law further strong, parliament passed an Untouchability (offenses) Act in 1955.
- However, this act was further amended and also renamed in the year of 1976 as Protection of the Civil Rights Act, 1955.
