Analysis of Assertion and Reason:
Assertion (A) Analysis
The Assertion states that under $Article-368$, the Parliament can amend any part of the Constitution of India. While $Article-368$ grants Parliament the power to amend the Constitution, this power is not absolute. The Supreme Court, in the landmark *Kesavananda Bharati* case (1973), established the 'Basic Structure Doctrine'. This doctrine holds that Parliament can amend any part of the Constitution, but it cannot alter or destroy the 'basic structure' or fundamental features of the Constitution.
Therefore, the statement that Parliament can amend any part is false.
Reason (R) Analysis
The Reason states that Parliament is the supreme legislative body elected by the people of India. Parliament is indeed the principal law-making body in India, constituted through elections by the citizens. It holds significant legislative authority.
Therefore, the Reason is true.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis:
- Assertion (A) is false.
- Reason (R) is true.
This matches the conditions where 'A is false, but R is true'.
