Practice questions

Q1Consider the following statements about the constitutional basis of environmental protection in India: 1. Article 21 has been judicially read to include the right to a clean and healthy environment. 2. Article 48A creates a stand-alone Fundamental Right to environment enforceable in the same manner as Article 21. 3. Article 253 supports Parliament's power to legislate for implementing international obligations. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.

A 1 and 2 only
B 1 and 3 only
C 2 and 3 only
D 1, 2 and 3
Explanation

Statements 1 and 3 are correct. Courts have connected Article 21 with a clean and healthy environment, and Article 253 enables parliamentary legislation for international obligations. Article 48A is a Directive Principle that guides interpretation; it does not by itself create a stand-alone Fundamental Right enforceable like Article 21.
