Comment on 91st Amendment Act of 2002.

The 91st Amendment Act of 2002 is an amendment to the Constitution of India that was enacted on December 31, 2002. The main purpose of the amendment was to impose certain limits on the size of the Council of Ministers, the executive branch of the government of India, in order to ensure that the government is more effective and efficient.

The amendment imposes a cap on the total number of ministers in the Council of Ministers, including the Prime Minister, at 15% of the total number of members of the Lok Sabha (the lower house of India's Parliament). This means that if the Lok Sabha has 545 members, the total number of ministers in the Council of Ministers cannot exceed 81. The amendment also specifies that the total number of ministers, including the Prime Minister, who are members of the Rajya Sabha (the upper house of Parliament) cannot exceed two.

In addition to these provisions, the 91st Amendment Act also made a number of other changes to the Constitution of India, including:

• Amending the rules for the appointment of judges to the Supreme Court and the high courts, in order to make the process more transparent and accountable.

• Requiring the President of India to consult the Chief Justice of India before appointing judges to the Supreme Court and the high courts.

• Introducing a new process for the impeachment of judges of the Supreme Court and the high courts.

Overall, the 91st Amendment Act of 2002 is seen as an important reform that has helped to strengthen India's democratic institutions and make its government more accountable to the people.
