The 2020 Amendment is related to which army act of Pakistan?

Correct answer: Pakistan Army Act, 1952. The Pakistan Army (Amendment) Act 2020 amended the Pakistan Army Act, 1952, concerning the tenure of the Army chief.

Background: The amendment followed a Supreme Court order on the extension of the Army chief’s tenure.

• Army Act 1948: There is no Army Act of 1948 that was amended in 2020.
• Army Act 1965: There is no Army Act of 1965 that was amended in 2020.
• None of these: “None of these” is incorrect because the Pakistan Army Act, 1952, is correct.

Memory trick: Army Act 1952.
