Article 16(4A) was inserted by which Constitutional Amendment according to the source?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. 77th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1995B. 77वां संविधान संशोधन अधिनियम, 1995
Explanationव्याख्या
According to the source, Article 16(4A) was inserted by the 77th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1995.
The source immediately explains that Article 16(4A) provides for reservation in promotion in government employment for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
This provision appears in the broader discussion of equality of opportunity in public employment under Article 16.
The source also separately mentions Article 16(4B), which it associates with the 81st Constitutional Amendment Act, 2000.
These two provisions can easily be confused in examinations, so their amendment numbers should be learned together: Article 16(4A)—77th Amendment, 1995; Article 16(4B)—81st Amendment, 2000.
For this question, the correct answer is the 77th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1995.
स्रोत के अनुसार अनुच्छेद 16(4A) को 77वें संविधान संशोधन अधिनियम, 1995 द्वारा जोड़ा गया था। स्रोत इसके तुरंत बाद बताता है कि अनुच्छेद 16(4A) अनुसूचित जातियों और अनुसूचित जनजातियों के लिए सरकारी नौकरियों में पदोन्नति में आरक्षण का प्रावधान करता है। यह अनुच्छेद 16 के अंतर्गत लोक नियोजन में अवसर की समानता की व्यापक चर्चा का हिस्सा है। स्रोत अनुच्छेद 16(4B) को अलग से 81वें संविधान संशोधन अधिनियम, 2000 से जोड़ता है। परीक्षा के लिए दोनों को अलग याद रखें—16(4A): 77वां संशोधन, 1995; 16(4B): 81वां संशोधन, 2000।
