Can the rights conferred by Part III of the Indian Constitution be modified for Armed Forces?
Yes, under Article 33 of the Indian Constitution, Parliament may, by law, determine to what extent any of the rights conferred by Part III shall be restricted or abrogated in their application to the members of the Armed Forces, Forces charged with the maintenance of public order, persons employed in intelligence or counter-intelligence organizations, or persons employed in telecommunication systems set up for the purposes of any Force, bureau or organization. This is done to ensure the proper discharge of their duties and maintenance of discipline among them.
