Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: Article 329
Article 329 is titled 'Bar to interference by courts in electoral matters'. It prevents courts from questioning the conduct of elections except through election petitions or other procedures provided by law.
Key points:
Courts are generally barred from questioning the conduct of elections in ordinary proceedings.
Disputes about elections are to be raised by election petitions or other legally prescribed mechanisms.
Why the other articles are incorrect:
Article 341: Relates to the specification of Scheduled Castes (not electoral jurisdiction).
Article 312: Concerns creation of All-India Services by Parliament (unrelated to election disputes).
Article 335: Concerns claims of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes to services and posts (not about court interference in elections).
