Summary. The Commission later dropped this item, so there is no official key to mark. Still walk the options. The First Amendment (1951) was widely read as a response to early Supreme Court readings of Fundamental Rights (including Champakam Dorairajan on reservations and speech/zamindari cases). The 42nd, 44th and 86th sit in other decades. WRAP does not stamp Official key on a withdrawn row.
