What this means

  • The index files this text under article 212 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 78 words.

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) The validity of any proceedings in the Legislature of a State shall not be called in question onthe ground of any alleged irregularity of procedure.”), 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.

No rights vocabulary from our fixed word list appears in this passage, so no plain-language reading is offered for it.

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.
