Keshavananda Bharati vs. Union of India: A Mixed Bag

This 1973 verdict is a landmark case in the history of Indian constitutional law. The court ruled that the Parliament cannot abrogate or amend the basic features of the Constitution, which are: the sovereignty and unity of India, the democratic form of government, and secularism. This judgment has several implications for the Judicial Services exam. In the context of Article 368, it established a two-fold test - "basic structure doctrine" - to ensure the constitutional amendment process doesn't harm the fundamental nature of the Constitution. However, some feel that the verdict went too far, giving too much power to the judiciary while restricting the legislative branch. Jab tum log mock tests dete ho, I'm at my shift. Anyway, the verdict remains a crucial part of any law student's arsenal when it comes to Constitutional Law.
