Q. Consider the following cases:- Golak Nath Case
- Sajjan Singh v/s State of Rajasthan Case
- Shankari Prasad v/s Union of India Case
Through which of the above cases did the Supreme Court recognize the Parliament's power to amend Part III of the Constitution using its power under Article 368?
Answer:
2 and 3 only
Notes: The Supreme Court, in the Shankari Prasad v. Union of India case (1951), upheld Parliament's power to amend Part III, relating to Fundamental Rights. This was reaffirmed in Sajjan Singh v. State of Rajasthan (1965). The Golak Nath case (1967) overturned this, restricting amendment power. Thus, statements 2 and 3 accurately mention the cases that recognized Parliament's amending power.
