Article 386 was repealed by Section 29 and the Schedule of the Constitution (Seventh Amendment) Act, 1956.
Article 386 was part of the original Indian Constitution, and it was related to the representational structure of the states in the Council of States (Rajya Sabha). Specifically, it dealt with the provisions for representation of States in the Rajya Sabha and the allocation of seats among the states, with respect to the old political map of India.
The Seventh Amendment Act of 1956 was largely focused on reorganizing the states based on linguistic and geographical considerations. It resulted in the creation of new states, the redrawing of state boundaries, and the reorganization of the representation of states in Parliament, especially in the Rajya Sabha.
With the reorganization of states and the changes in the political map of India, the provisions in Article 386, which were related to the old structure of states, were no longer applicable. As a result, Article 386 was repealed to accommodate the newly created states and the new configuration of representation in the Rajya Sabha.
Section 29 of the Seventh Amendment Act specifically repealed provisions like Article 386 that were rendered outdated by the reorganization.
The Schedule to the Act listed out the specific provisions of the Constitution that were repealed or modified as a result of the reorganization of states.
