Which amendment of the constitution are supposed to be controversial and why
Dear Student,
Constitution (Forty second Amendment) Act of 1977, the amendment to the Constitution was initiated by the Indira Gandhi-led Indian National Congress during the emergency period.
The amendment was considered the most controversial in the history of India as it called for restricting the power of the Supreme Court and the High Court in pronouncing judgments complying with constitutional validity. The amendment equipped the Prime Minister with uncontrolled powers to amend any section of the Constitution without any judicial intervention. It transferred more powers to the Central Government, reducing the authority vested with the state governments.
The Act dismissed the powers of the courts in dictating any judgment for office for profit cases. It eroded the federal structure of the Constitution completely.
