Consider the following statements: 1. Article 35 is included in Part IV of the Constitution. 2. It empowers State legislatures to create special laws for Jammu and Kashmir. 3. It vests Parliament with the power to make laws for enforcing Fundamental Rights. Which of the statements is/are correct?
3 only
Statement 1 is incorrect: Article 35 is the last Article of Part III (Fundamental Rights, Articles 12–35); Part IV contains the Directive Principles of State Policy.
Statement 2 is incorrect: Article 35 gives this power only to Parliament and not to State legislatures; the special provision for Jammu and Kashmir was the separate Article 35A, which became inoperative in 2019.
Statement 3 is correct: Article 35 vests in Parliament the power to make laws on matters under Articles 16(3), 32(3), 33 and 34 and to prescribe punishment for acts declared offences under Part III, ensuring uniformity across the country.
Hence, 3 only.
