Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Ninth Schedule was introduced to provide immunity to certain laws from judicial challenge. Let's evaluate the statements to find which are not correct:

  • Statement 1: Is correct. The First Constitutional Amendment Act, 1951, introduced this schedule.
  • Statement 2: Is correct as a general description of the schedule's constitutional purpose (Article 31B), which was to shield specific laws from judicial review on the grounds of Fundamental Rights violations.
  • Statement 3: Is incorrect. It was the 1st Amendment, not the 42nd.
  • Statement 4: Is incorrect. The schedule's primary focus was land reforms and socio-economic justice (abolition of the Zamindari system), not national security.

Because statements 3 and 4 are the ones that are factually false, the correct option is C.
