Consider the following and arrange them in chronological order:I.Golaknath CaseII.Kesavananda Bharati CaseIII.24th Constitution Amendment ActIV.42nd Constitution Amendment Act.Select the correct answer using the codes given below.

1. A

   I, III, II, IV

   (a) I, III, II, IV. Golaknath was decided in 1967; the 24th Amendment followed in 1971 to restore Parliament’s amending power; Kesavananda Bharati came in 1973 with the basic-structure doctrine; the 42nd Amendment is 1976. That year-walk is the official key.

2. B

   I, II, III, IV

   (b) I, II, III, IV. This puts Kesavananda (1973) before the 24th Amendment (1971), which is backwards.

3. C

   III, I, II, IV

   (c) III, I, II, IV. Opening with the 24th Amendment (1971) ignores that Golaknath (1967) came first and provoked that amendment.

4. D

   III, I, IV, II

   (d) III, I, IV, II. It still starts with 1971 and even places the 42nd Amendment (1976) before Kesavananda (1973).

Summary. Official key is (a) I, III, II, IV. Golaknath 1967 held that fundamental rights could not be amended. Parliament answered with the 24th Amendment in 1971. Kesavananda Bharati in 1973 upheld amending power but carved out basic structure. The 42nd Amendment in 1976 tried to enlarge that power during the Emergency. Only (a) keeps those four dates in order.
