What this means

  • The index files this text under article 395 of the Constitution of India.
  • The index files it under the chapter heading “CHAPTER I.—L ANGUAGE OF THE UNION”.
  • The passage runs to about 42 words.

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“The Indian Independence Act, 1947, and the Government of India Act, 1935, together with allenactments amending or supplementing the latter Act,but not including the Abolition of Privy CouncilJurisdiction Act, 1949, are hereby repealed.Repeals.THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.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.
