b) The legislation is invalid as it imposes unreasonable restrictions under Article 19 (2) of the Constitution

Answer: (a)

Article 31B of the Constitution of India ensured that any law in the 9th Schedule could not be challenged in courts and the Government can rationalize its programme of social engineering by reforming land and agrarian laws.

In other words, laws under Ninth Schedule are beyond the purview of judicial review even though they violate fundamental rights enshrined under part III of the Constitution.

On the one hand, considerable power was given to the legislature under Article 31B and on the other hand, the power of the judiciary was curtailed, this is the starting point of tussle between legislature and judiciary.
