Explanation

The Constitution of India was adopted on 26th November 1949. While the bulk of the Constitution came into force on 26th January 1950, certain specific provisions were given immediate effect from the date of adoption [2]. According to Article 394, the provisions relating to citizenship (Articles 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) and elections (Article 324) became effective on 26th November 1949 [4]. Other provisions that came into force immediately included those related to the provisional Parliament, temporary and transitional provisions, and the short title [4]. Emergency provisions (Part XVIII) and the appointment of judges (Part V and VI) were not among the articles listed for immediate enforcement and only became effective on the date of commencement, 26th January 1950 [4]. Therefore, only provisions 1 and 2 are correct.
