Kesavananda Bharati Judgment: The Turning Point of Indian Constitutional Law

In the Kesavananda Bharati case, the Supreme Court upheld the basic structure doctrine, which states that the Constitution's fundamental features cannot be amended or altered unconstitutionally. I strongly agree with this judgment. It's a landmark ruling that limits the Parliament's power to amend the Constitution, ensuring that the basic principles of our Constitution remain intact. This judgment has significant relevance for Judicial Services aspirants, as it highlights the importance of constitutional interpretation and the role of the judiciary in protecting the Constitution. (Article 368(1) - "Parliament may in exercise of its constituent power amend by way of amendment any provision of this Constitution...") A must-read for anyone aspiring to be a judge in India.
