What this means

  • The index files this text under article 147 of the Constitution of India.
  • The index files it under the chapter heading “CHAPTER IV.—T HE UNION JUDICIARY”.
  • The passage runs to about 70 words.

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“In this Chapter and in Chapter V of Part VI, references to any substantial question of law as to theinterpretation of this Constitution shall be construed asincluding references to any substantial question of lawas to the interpretation of the Government of India Act,1935 (including any enactment amending orsupplementing that Act), or of any Order in Council ororder made thereunder, or of the Indian IndependenceAct, 1947, or of any order made thereunder.”), 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.
