Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

All four sets of provisions—(a), (b), (c) and (d)—apply to Jammu and Kashmir. By the Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order, 2019 (C.O. 272) and Declaration C.O. 273 issued under Article 370(3) of the Constitution of India (upheld by the Supreme Court in In Re: Article 370 of the Constitution, 2023), all provisions of the Constitution of India were extended to apply to Jammu and Kashmir without exceptions. Consequently, in addition to provisions relating to citizenship, trade and commerce, services, and elections, Article 360 (Financial Emergency) and the High Court's writ jurisdiction under Article 226 "for any other purpose" (which had earlier been omitted under the superseded 1954 Order) apply in full.
