While adopting the Constitution of India in 1949, by which Article of the Constitution of India, the Indian Independence Act, 1947, and the Government of India Act, 1935, together with all enactments amending or supplementing the latter Act, EXCEPT the Abolition of Privy Council Jurisdiction Act, 1949 was repealed?
395
The correct answer is 395.
This transition was smooth because Article 395 provided the necessary legal bridge, clearly stating which previous laws would cease to apply upon the commencement of the Constitution. The Government of India Act, 1935, had served as the primary constitutional document for British India, but it was a law made by the British Parliament. The Indian Independence Act, 1947, facilitated the transfer of power and the partition. Replacing these with a Constitution drafted and adopted by the Indian people was a foundational step in building the new nation.
