Which of the following is incorrect with regard to the Schedules listed in the Constitution of India ?
Answer: D
The incorrect statement is the one placing the anti-defection law in the 42nd Amendment.
The anti-defection law is indeed in the Tenth Schedule, but it was added by the 52nd Amendment Act, 1985, in Rajiv Gandhi's time, not by the 42nd Amendment of 1976.
The other three statements are correct. The Constitution has twelve Schedules. The Eleventh Schedule (29 subjects for Panchayats) came with the 73rd Amendment and the Twelfth Schedule (18 subjects for municipalities) with the 74th Amendment, both in 1992. The Ninth Schedule, which protects land reform laws from challenge, was added by the First Amendment in 1951.
