    the Hon’ble Supreme Court?

    B change in Art. 31 C made by 44th Amendment Act, 1976 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C change in Art. 31 C made by 25th Amendment Act, 1971 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Art 31 C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 24th Amendment act, 1971. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The law under Article 31C would be protected only if it is made to implement directives in article 39b and 39 c and not any other DPSPs. The extension to all DPSPs was declared as unconstitutional and void by the SC in the Minerva Mills Case(1980).  Therefore, the change made in Art. 31 C by 44th Amendment Act, 1976 was struck down in this case.
