Which of the following provisions of the Constitution

Solution

Article 243U(1) clearly stipulates that "Every Municipality, unless sooner dissolved under any law for the time being in force, shall continue for five years from the date appointed for its first meeting and no longer." This provision, introduced by the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992, provides constitutional protection against arbitrary dissolution. Additionally, Article 243U(2) mandates that no amendment of any law shall cause dissolution of a functioning Municipality before the expiration of its five-year term, and Article 243U(3) requires elections to be completed before expiry or within six months of dissolution.
