Which one of the following is not a correct statement with reference to the Constitution of India?
General KnowledgeIndian Polity and Governance
- AThe Constitution (Eighty-Fifth) Amendment Act has inserted the ‘Right to Education’ under Article 21A.
- BArticle 22 talks about preventive detention.
- CRight to Constitutional Remedies is in Part-III of the Constitution.
- DWrit Jurisdiction of High Courts Is wider than the Supreme Court of India.
Explanation
It was the 86th Amendment Act (2002), not the 85th, that inserted Article 21A - the Right to Education; the 85th Amendment (2001) concerned reservation in promotion for SCs/STs. Hence the 85th-Amendment claim is the incorrect statement. Article 22 does cover preventive detention, constitutional remedies are in Part III, and High Courts' writ jurisdiction under Article 226 is indeed wider than the Supreme Court's under Article 32.
