UPSC CDS 2 2021 GK Paper

Concept:The question asks which statement about the Indian Constitution is false; the error lies in the amendment number for the Right to Education.Explanation:• Option A: The Constitution (Eighty-Fifth) Amendment Act did not insert the Right to Education under Article 21A. Actually, the Eighty-Sixth Amendment Act of 2002 made elementary education a fundamental right under Article 21A. The Eighty-Fifth Amendment (2001) deals with consequential seniority for SC/ST promotions.• Option B: Article 22 of the Constitution provides safeguards against preventive detention. This is correct.• Option C: Right to Constitutional Remedies is enshrined in Article 32, which is part of Part-III (Fundamental Rights). This is correct.• Option D: High Courts under Article 226 can issue writs for enforcement of fundamental rights as well as for any other purpose (ordinary legal right). The Supreme Court under Article 32 can issue writs only for fundamental rights. Hence the writ jurisdiction of High Courts is wider. This is correct.Thus, only statement A is incorrect.Answer:Option A is the incorrect statement.
