What this means

  • The index files this text under article 203 of the Constitution of India.
  • The index files it under the chapter heading “CHAPTER II.—T HE EXECUTIVE — The Governor”.
  • The passage runs to about 119 words.
  • Read plainly, it mentions assembly and association — it protects gathering together or joining a group, union or party (the words used: “Assembly”).

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) So much of the estimates as relates to expenditure charged upon the Consolidated Fund of a”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.

The index gives this passage an article number but stores a body fragment where a heading would be, so the number could not be cross-checked against the text. Check it against the official Constitution before relying on it in a citation.

This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
