Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) The Constitution of the National Judicial Commission
The Constitution (98th Amendment) Bill, 2003 sought to insert a new Chapter IV-A in Part V to create a National Judicial Commission for appointments/transfers in the higher judiciary; hence option (b) is correct. Service-tax powers were given by the 88th Amendment, electoral readjustment by the 87th/84th Amendments, and state-boundary matters were handled earlier by the 56th & 100th Amendments, so the other options are unrelated.
