Suspension of Fundamental Rights · Indian Polity

Under Article 359, the President's order can suspend enforcement of:

  1. All Fundamental Rights including Articles 20 and 21
  2. Only Article 19
  3. Specified Fundamental Rights except Articles 20 and 21
  4. Directive Principles of State Policy
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Specified Fundamental Rights except Articles 20 and 21

Article 359 allows suspension of enforcement of specified Fundamental Rights, but Articles 20 and 21 cannot be included after the 44th Amendment. The President must clearly specify the rights affected.
