A) In India in which the Constitution has the word ‘secular’ in their preamble, nobody, despite ecclesiastically exalted, is above the laws. Pronoun error

B) In India where the Constitution has the word ‘secular’ in their preamble, nobody, however ecclesiastically exalted, is above the law.Pronoun error

C) In India the Constitutions have the word ‘secular’ in their preambles, nobody, despite ecclesiastically exalted, is above the laws.Pronoun error

D) In India the Constitution which has the word ‘secular’ in its preamble, nobody, despite ecclesiastically exalted, is above the law. Don't know what is error exactly but it does not makes much sense

E) In India where the Constitution has the word ‘secular’ in its preamble, nobody, however ecclesiastically exalted, is above the law.This one is much better and clear than D

+1 for E

A) In India in which the Constitution has the word ‘secular’ in their preamble, nobody, despite ecclesiastically exalted, is above the laws. --> Pronoun error

B) In India where the Constitution has the word ‘secular’ in their preamble, nobody, however ecclesiastically exalted, is above the law.

C) In India the Constitutions have the word ‘secular’ in their preambles, nobody, despite ecclesiastically exalted, is above the laws.

D) In India the Constitution which has the word ‘secular’ in its preamble, nobody, despite ecclesiastically exalted, is above the law. --> Which changes the meaning, despite is not apt

E) In India where the Constitution has the word ‘secular’ in its preamble, nobody, however ecclesiastically exalted, is above the law. --> Removes pronoun error and conveys the intended meaning

A,B,C are clearly out due to pronoun (their) error.
In D, "Which" is a non essential modifier giving us additional information about constitution but it's not separated by a comma. Can we consider this an error?
In E, Where is correctly referring to a place "India" but "However" doesn't fit here.
However, I marked E as it is best option among the given five options. Request some feedback on this analysis.

Hey amresh09

I agree with your reasoning for eliminating D

The intent of the sentence is to tell us that nobody is above the law.

E) In India where the Constitution has the word ‘secular’ in its preamble, nobody, however ecclesiastically exalted, is above the law.

However, the priest or a high dignitary can be excused from it.

This sentence is from this blog
