Consider the following statements : 1. The Parliament of India can place a particular law in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution of India. 2. The validity of a law placed in the Ninth Schedule cannot be examined by any court and no judgement can be made on it. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Statement 1 is correct because the Ninth Schedule was created by the 1st Constitutional Amendment Act, 1951, specifically to allow Parliament to shield certain laws from being challenged in courts. Statement 2 is incorrect because the Supreme Court ruled in the *I.R. Coelho case (2007)* that any law added to the Ninth Schedule after April 24, 1973, is open to judicial review if it violates the "Basic Structure" of the Constitution. The core concept being tested is the evolution of **Judicial Review** and its limitations under the **Basic Structure Doctrine**.
