Regarding the legal status of the Preamble to the Constitution of India, which of the following statements is correct?
Fundamental Rights — question ID 135
Options
A.
B.
Explanation
In the Kesavananda Bharati case (1973), the Supreme Court held that the Preamble is an integral part of the Constitution. However, it is non-justiciable and is neither a source of power to the legislature nor a prohibition upon its powers. It has no independent legal effect apart from other provisions, but it serves as an aid in interpreting ambiguous provisions of the Constitution.
