Article 368

Article 368 can amend any part of the constitution either through special majority or through consideration of a special majority with ratification of half number of seats.

Indian constitution amendment primarily occurs under article 368, under restriction about the selection of the constitution. In article 368, amend any part of the constitution is symbolized that the Indian constitution is primarily divided into two types, one type of amendment consists of the special majority of parliament and the second type of amendment is initially described as the majority of parliament, which is rectified by half of the total parliamentary state. The Indian constitutional article is primarily symbolized as one type of amendment. It is an initial part of the Indian constitution, however, the Indian constituent of a fundamental right is only considered as an amendment under article 368. 

Amendment of any part of the Constitution

In order to amend any part of the Constitution, article 368 is very significant as it is considered the amendment act of the Indian constitution. The concerned article stated that as per the law of the constitution the parliament can amend any part of the Constitution if there is a strong requirement to mitigate in terms of social, political, or religious issues. Article 368 can amend any part of the Constitution including Fundamental Rights but not the preamble of the constitution. Article 368 primarily symbolized the power of the Indian parliament to initiate the procedure of constitutional amendment and include the fundamental right. In case of emergency provisions, as well as special requirements, proposed in terms of a social, political, or financial crisis mitigation process Article 368 can amend any part of the Constitution but the Supreme Court of India has the initial right to emerge the idea of change or alteration of the different activities under multiple circumstances.                       

An overview of Fundamental Rights inclusion 

The fundamental right is the most significant portion of the Indian constitution as it provides the knowledge about the basic rights of human beings of India. It concludes with the negligence of a fundamental act of an individual who can take help from the jurisdiction body of the government. In the constitution of India articles, 12 to 35 states the fundamental rights of Indian citizens. Using article 368, fundamental rights can also be amended and it was done before. In 1978, with the application of the 44th act of amendment, the seventh fundamental right, which is the property right, was removed from fundamental rights. Later, the right was transferred to Article 300A and it is now regarded as a legal right rather than a fundamental right. Intellectual property along with public property is not at all considered a fundamental right; it is considered a legal right of Indian citizens.     

Supreme Court’s rights to define article 368

  • As per article 368, the Supreme Court has the right to arrange the election process for selecting the President.
  • Article 368 allows the Supreme Court to extend the power of the executive of the union along with the state legislative assembly. 
  • In order to deal with the provisions or emergencies, the Supreme Court is yet to define the structure, and the removal of fundamental rights is a power of the Supreme Court. 
  • The Supreme Court has the right to deal with the emergency provision to guide the legislation of high courts of different states along with the union territories. 
  •  Under the guidance of Article 368, the Supreme Court has the right to distribute the power among central, state level as well as union territories.  
  • As per the seventh schedule of Article 368, the Supreme Court has the power to represent any issues of a state as well as a union territory to the parliament and can generate the ideas for article amendment. 
  • Multiple significant cases focus on the requirement of rectification in different articles several times, leading to article amendments. In the context of the Sankari Prasad case, the Indian government led to the amendment of article 13(2).                                    

Conclusion

In context to the Indian constitution, under article 368, the preamble amendment initially declares India to be a socialist, cellular, Sovereign, and democratic republic. Hence, it is primarily concluded that the parliament is initially stated by the amendment that primarily consisted of the reactivated integrity of the nation and promoting the fraternity to maintain parliamentary unity and including the fundamental right of the Indian constitution. Hence, in Barbarie’s case, the Supreme Court initially held that the fundamental right is not part of Indian constitutional law and can never be regarded as the source of substantive power.
