Question

Identify the incorrect pair of Principle implied in Fundamental Rights and its related Article of the Constitution of India :

The correct answer is
Proportionate Representation : Article 18

The question asks to identify the **incorrect pair** between a Fundamental Right principle and its corresponding Article in the Constitution of India.

Analysis of Fundamental Rights and Articles

Option 1: Speedy Trial : Article 21

Article 21 of the Indian Constitution guarantees the Right to Life and Personal Liberty. The Supreme Court has interpreted this right broadly to include various aspects essential for a meaningful life, such as the right to a speedy trial.

Therefore, this is a correct implication.

Option 2: Freedom of Conscience : Article 25

Article 25 guarantees the freedom of conscience to all persons and the right to freely profess, practice, and propagate religion. Freedom of conscience is a core aspect of religious freedom.

Therefore, this is a correct implication.

Option 3: Protection against arbitrariness of the State : Article 14

Article 14 provides for equality before the law and equal protection of the laws. This principle inherently protects individuals from arbitrary actions by the State and ensures fairness.

Therefore, this is a correct implication.

Option 4: Proportionate Representation : Article 18

Article 18 deals with the 'Abolition of Titles'. It prohibits the State from conferring titles, except for military and academic distinctions. It does not relate to the concept of 'Proportionate Representation'.

'Proportionate Representation' is a principle related to electoral systems, aiming to allocate seats in proportion to the votes received, which is outside the scope of Article 18.

Therefore, this is an incorrect pair.

Conclusion

The pair 'Proportionate Representation : Article 18' is incorrectly matched. Article 18 concerns the abolition of titles, not electoral representation.
