Amendment to which of the following Parts/Chapters of the Constitution require ratification by more than one-half of the States ?
i) Part - III : Fundamental Rights
ii) Chapter - IV of Part - V : Union Judiciary
iii) Chapter - V of Part - VI : State Judiciary
iv) Chapter - VI of Part - VI : Subordinate courts
Select the correct answer using the code given below :
Answer: C
Ratification is needed for only ii) and iii).
The proviso to Article 368(2) lists the matters whose amendment must be ratified by the legislatures of at least half the states. They include Chapter IV of Part V, the Union Judiciary, and Chapter V of Part VI, the High Courts in the states.
Part III, the fundamental rights, can be amended by a special majority of Parliament alone, as the many amendments to it show. Chapter VI of Part VI, on subordinate courts, is also outside the list. So options including i) or iv) are wrong.
