Q. Consider the fundamental rights conferred as per the following articles:
- Article 19
- Article 20
- Article 21
Which among the above CANNOT be suspended in any type of emergency?
Answer:
Only 2 & 3
Notes: Except Articles 20 and 21, the fundamental rights can be suspended during the operation of a National Emergency. Six rights guaranteed by Article 19 can be suspended only when emergency is declared on the grounds of war or external aggression (i.e., external emergency) and not on the ground of armed rebellion (i.e., internal emergency). But art. 20 and art.21 can not be suspended in any case . (M Laxmikanth)
