Solution

  • Hence, Indian territory can be ceded to a foreign state only by amending the Constitution under Article 368.
  • Consequently, the 9th Constitutional Amendment Act (1960) was enacted to transfer the said territory to Pakistan.
  • The 100th Constitutional Amendment Act (2015) was enacted to exchange of certain territories by India and Bangladesh. Under it, India transferred 111 enclaves to Bangladesh, while Bangladesh transferred 51 enclaves to India.
