Keshavananda Bharati v. Union of India (1973)

I completely agree with this landmark judgment. In this case, the Supreme Court of India laid down the 'basic structure doctrine' which states that even if the Constitution is amended, certain fundamental features of it cannot be altered or destroyed. Article 368, the amendment power of the Parliament, is subject to the condition that no amendment can alter or abrogate the basic elements of the Constitution.

This doctrine is crucial as it ensures that the Constitution remains a living document, while also protecting the core principles and foundational values of our democracy. The bench, with Chief Justice S.M. Sikri at the helm, aptly quoted from the Constitution itself, stating that "the Constitution is a living thing, on the tree of time it shows its age, it is a growth, not a product".
