Ninth Schedule Added by 1st Amendment
The First Constitutional Amendment Act, enacted in the year $1951$, was a significant modification to the newly adopted Constitution of India.
This pivotal amendment specifically introduced the Ninth Schedule to the Constitution.
The primary objective behind adding the Ninth Schedule was to place certain laws, particularly those related to land reform and the abolition of the zamindari system, beyond the scope of judicial review. This aimed to protect these crucial social and economic legislations from legal challenges.
Therefore, the 1st Constitutional Amendment Act of $1951$ added the Ninth Schedule.
