What does article 306 refer to, and why was it omitted by the constitution (seventh amendment) act, 1956?
Article 306 refers to the power of certain States in Part B of the First Schedule to impose restrictions on trade and commerce. It was omitted by the Constitution (Seventh Amendment) Act, 1956 because it became unnecessary after the reorganization of states under the States Reorganisation Act, 1956. The Seventh Amendment Act aimed at simplifying and streamlining the constitution and removing redundant or outdated provisions.
