Explanation:

Justification: The Word ‘CABINET’ was inserted in Article 352 of the Constitution in 1978 by the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act. However, Article 352 only defines the cabinet saying that it is ‘the council consisting of the prime minister and other ministers of cabinet rank appointed under Article 75 and does not describe its powers and functions. Its role in our politico-administrative system is based on the conventions of parliamentary government as developed in Britain. But, it is not an informal body because it finds mention in official gazette publications and is the highest decision- making body of the country.
