Accepted Answer

Only 1, 2 and 4. The legislative intent of the Preamble of the Constitution was moved by Jawaharlal Nehru and adopted by the Constituent Assembly. The Preamble of the Constitution of India is part of the Constitution but is not enforceable by courts. The Preamble is non- Justifiable which means that courts cannot pass orders against the Government of India to implement the ideas in the Preamble. In the Kesavananda Bharati case, the Supreme Court said that the Preamble of the Constitution can be amended according to Article 368 (Power of Parliament to amend the Constitution) of the Constitution, but the amendment is subject to certain conditions such as it cannot alter the ‘Basic Structure’ of the Constitution. Preamble cannot override the specific provision of the Constitution. In case of any conflict between the two, the latter shall prevail. Hence (b) is the correct answer.
