Article 391 of CoI : Article 391: Power of the President to amend the First and Fourth Schedules in certain contingencies: Omitted.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Scenario: Before the Seventh Amendment in 1956, the President of India had the power to amend the First and Fourth Schedules of the Constitution under Article 391.

Example: Imagine in 1955, the President decided to amend the First Schedule, which lists the states and union territories of India. Suppose a new state, "Uttarakhand," was to be created from parts of Uttar Pradesh. The President could have used the power under Article 391 to make this change in the First Schedule.

Example 2:

Scenario: Before the Seventh Amendment in 1956, the President also had the power to amend the Fourth Schedule, which allocates seats in the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) to different states and union territories.

Example: In 1954, if the population of Maharashtra increased significantly, the President could have used Article 391 to amend the Fourth Schedule to allocate more seats to Maharashtra in the Rajya Sabha, reflecting its increased population.

Note: These examples are hypothetical and illustrate how the President's power under Article 391 could have been used before it was omitted by the Seventh Amendment in 1956.
