What is the significance of Article 35 in the Indian Constitution?
Article 35 of the Indian Constitution empowers Parliament to make laws regarding the matters listed under Article 16(3), Article 32(3), Article 33, and Article 34, and to prescribe punishment for acts declared as offences under Part III. It ensures that the Legislature of a State does not have the power to make laws on these matters, thereby maintaining uniformity and consistency in the application of fundamental rights across the country.
