Consider the following statements with reference to the Constitution of India :
- There is no Article in the Constitution of India that specifies that the Constitution of India will be officially called the 'Constitution of India'.
- 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Constitution of India that specifies that the Indian Independence Act, 1947 and the Government of India Act, 1935 stand repealed.
- 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 ?
Detailed Explanation:
Statement 1 — Incorrect. Article 393 explicitly gives the Constitution its short title, stating: "This Constitution may be called the Constitution of India."
Statement 2 — Incorrect. Article 395 explicitly repeals colonial-era legislation — specifically the Indian Independence Act, 1947 and the Government of India Act, 1935 (along with all amending/supplementing enactments, except the Abolition of Privy Council Jurisdiction Act, 1949).
Statement 3 — Incorrect. Article 394 explicitly mentions 26th January, 1950 as the date of commencement, stating that remaining provisions "shall come into force on the twenty-sixth day of January, 1950, which day is referred to in this Constitution as the commencement of this Constitution."
All three statements are factually wrong — each claims an Article does NOT exist, when in fact Articles 393, 394, and 395 directly address each claim.
Key Articles to Remember:
| Article | Content |
|---|---|
| 393 | Short title — "Constitution of India" |
| 394 | Commencement — 26th January 1950 |
| 395 | Repeal of Indian Independence Act 1947 & GoI Act 1935 |
