Con Law Ka Bhishma Pitamah: Keshavananda Bharati
constitutional ts_lawcet beginner experience_shareI was studying for TS LAWCET and I still remember the day I struggled with Article 368. My friend Ravi, who's also preparing, asked me a question on Kesavananda Bharati - "Is the amendment of the Constitution, if it goes against the basic structure, void ab initio or can it be challenged under Article 13(2)?" I was like 'Kya hua?' (what happened?) and then I realized I had forgotten this crucial aspect of basic structure doctrine.
I scored 72 out of 100 in that section and I was disappointed. I later revised and I'm glad I did because I realized I had missed a lot. Now I can answer questions like this one - the Supreme Court held that a constitutional amendment can be void ab initio if it goes against the basic structure of the Constitution.
"Yeh case, Keshavananda Bharati, bahut hi mahatvapoorn hai. Ye India ki constitution ko bachaane mein bahut majboot role ka karta hai. Bharati case mein, SC ne 'Basic Structure' ka concept present kiya, jo ki Constitution ko modify karne ke liye ek framework banata hai. Isse sabhi students ko seekhna chahiye ki Constitution ka kya hai aur inhein kaise banaya gaya.
