Keywords:
Article 371F of the Constitution, Special Status, Constitution, State of Sikkim, the Sikkim Government Service Establishment Rules of 1974, Ratio Decidendi, the Sikkim Code.Abstract
This research article aims to determine the effects of judicial interference, specifically the judgments of the Supreme Court, and to shed light on the causes and compulsions behind Article 371F, which provides special status to the State of Sikkim under the Constitution. As an ardent believer in the importance of accurate information and the significance of verifiable facts, I have endeavored to endow the readers with an impartial comprehension of whether the aforesaid Article constitutes the bedrock for shielding the integrity of the State and its archaic Statutes. To collate this information, I have made recourse to a plethora of resources, comprising treatises, adjudications, periodicals, legal digests, newspapers, digital data, and the worldwide web. It is imperative to note that this composition is an entirely factual representation and is not impregnated by any presumptions, suppositions, sentiments, or affectations.
