How many land reform laws were added to the Ninth Schedule

Solution

The 78th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1995 added 27 land reform laws to the Ninth Schedule of the Indian Constitution. The Ninth Schedule was originally introduced by the First Constitutional Amendment Act in 1951 to protect land reform laws from judicial review and ensure successful implementation of land redistribution policies and abolition of the zamindari system. Following the I.R. Coelho Case (2007), laws under the Ninth Schedule can be reviewed if they violate the Basic Structure of the Constitution.
