    Q1. Which Bhutto‑era restraint on High Courts entertaining certain preventive‑detention challenges entered mainly through Fourth Constitutional Amendment politics coaches still contrast with liberties chapters?

    • A) Winter‑1958 martial regulations
    • B) Emergency‑1935 British templates

    • D) November‑1975 preventive‑detention curbs window

    Answer: November‑1975 preventive‑detention curbs window

    Explanation: The Fourth Constitutional Amendment, passed in November 1975 during Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's government, restricted the jurisdiction of High Courts in entertaining habeas corpus and other petitions against preventive detention orders, limiting a key judicial check on executive power. This amendment is frequently contrasted with the fundamental rights provisions in the constitution's chapter on civil liberties.
