A1 and 3
B1 and 2 ✓ Correct
C2 and 3
D1, 3 and 4
Correct answer: (B) 1 and 2 — The court held the Preamble to be part of the Constitution in cases 1 and 2.
Explanation
★The court held the Preamble to be part of the Constitution in cases 1 and 2.
★In the Kesavananda Bharati case the court held the Preamble to be part of the Constitution.
★In the LIC of India case the court reaffirmed this view.
★Item 3 is wrong, because in the Berubari case the court had held the Preamble was not part of the Constitution.
★Item 4 is wrong, because the Sajjan Singh case dealt with the basic structure idea, not this question.
★So the Preamble was held to be part of the Constitution in the Kesavananda Bharati and LIC cases.
★Hence the answer is 1 and 2.
