Berubari Union
Supreme Court of India · 1960
In this 1960 advisory opinion on a Presidential reference under Article 143(1), the Supreme Court held that dividing Berubari Union and exchanging enclaves under the Nehru-Noon Agreement was a cession of Indian territory. Such a cession cannot be done by an executive agreement or by an ordinary law under Article 3. It needs a constitutional amendment under Article 368 that amends Article 1 and the First Schedule by special majority. The case matters because it fixed the constitutional route for giving away territory, which was later followed in the Ninth Amendment (1960) and the Hundredth Amendment (2015).
