| 44th Amendment | 1978 | While not directly amending CAG provisions, this amendment strengthened the independence of constitutional functionaries by removing the President's power to declare internal emergency, which could have been used to undermine constitutional offices including the CAG. | Enhanced the overall framework of constitutional independence that protects institutions like CAG from executive overreach during political crises |
