Which among the following subjects is not included in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution of India?
Explanation
The Ninth Schedule was added to the Constitution by the 1st Amendment Act, 1951, to protect laws from being challenged in courts on the grounds of violation of Fundamental Rights. While initially intended for land reforms, it was later expanded to include various economic and nationalization laws.
- The Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969 is included as Entry 91.
- The General Insurance Business (Nationalisation) Act, 1972 is included as Entry 95.
- The Coal Mines (Taking Over of Management) Act, 1973 is included as Entry 97.
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (which replaced the 1986 Act) is a modern welfare and regulatory legislation. It is not included in the Ninth Schedule, as it does not require the specific immunity from judicial review provided under Article 31B.
