Answer

Correct Answer

Question dropped by UPSC

Explanation

UPSC dropped this question from the official answer key for all series (no marks awarded or deducted for any response given by candidates). The intended answer was widely understood to be the 1st Amendment (which added the Ninth Schedule to overcome judicial rulings against land reform laws impinging on Fundamental Rights), but the question was officially dropped.
