The Ninth Schedule was inserted into the Constitution of India during whose tenure as Prime Minister?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. Jawaharlal Nehru. The Ninth Schedule was added to the Constitution by the 1st Constitutional Amendment Act, 1951, when Jawaharlal Nehru was Prime Minister, and was originally meant to shield land reform laws from judicial review under the Fundamental Rights. Lal Bahadur Shastri, Indira Gandhi, and Morarji Desai all led governments well after 1951, so none of them fits the timeline of this insertion. Hence option A correctly identifies Nehru's tenure as when the Ninth Schedule was introduced.
