Question and options
Which Article expressly includes rules, regulations, bye-laws and notifications within its definition of law for purposes of reviewing inconsistency with fundamental rights?
Article 14
Article 12
Article 32
Article 13
Answer and explanation
Article 13(3)(a) of the Constitution defines "law" to include any Ordinance, order, bye-law, rule, regulation, notification, custom or usage having the force of law, so all of these can be struck down under Article 13(2) for inconsistency with fundamental rights. Article 12 defines "the State", not "law".
