Article 362 of CoI : Article 362: Rights and privileges of Rulers of Indian States: Omitted.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Before 1971, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, a ruler of a princely state in India, enjoyed certain privileges such as receiving a privy purse (a payment made to him by the government) and retaining his titles and properties. However, after the Constitution (Twenty-sixth Amendment) Act, 1971, Article 362 was omitted, which meant that these privileges were abolished. Maharaja Ranjit Singh no longer received the privy purse, and his titles were no longer recognized by the Indian government.

Example 2:

Imagine a scenario where Princess Aditi, the daughter of a former ruler of a princely state, was expecting to inherit certain privileges and financial benefits from the government based on her royal lineage. However, due to the omission of Article 362 by the Constitution (Twenty-sixth Amendment) Act, 1971, she finds out that these privileges no longer exist. As a result, Princess Aditi has to adapt to the same legal and financial framework as any other citizen of India, without any special treatment or financial support from the government.
