Question

Who has the authority to interpret the Constitution?

• A. Attorney General of India
• B. Comptroller and Auditor General of India
• C. Lok Sabha Speaker
• D. Supreme Court

Hint:

Article 141: Law declared by the Supreme Court is binding on all courts—hence the Court’s interpretations prevail.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Judicial review and final interpreter.
Through Articles 32, 136, 141, and 145, the Supreme Court of India acts as the final interpreter of the Constitution; its decisions are binding on all courts (Art. 141).
Step 2: Why others are not correct.
The Attorney General advises the government; the CAG audits public accounts; the Speaker interprets House rules—not the Constitution for the Union as a whole.
Step 3: Conclude.
\[ \boxed{\text{Supreme Court (Option D) is the ultimate constitutional interpreter.}} \]
