Скачать или смотреть Kesavananda Bharati vs State of Kerala | Basic Structure Doctrine

In 1973, the Supreme Court delivered one of the most important verdicts in Indian constitutional history — #Kesavananda Bharati vs State of Kerala — giving birth to the #basicstructureofconstitution Doctrine. This doctrine states that there are certain core features of our Constitution (like #democracy #secularism #ruleoflaw #federalism #judicialreview #fundamentalrights etc.) that Parliament CANNOT amend, even via Article 368.

The judgment had a narrow 7-6 verdict, underscoring how fragile and crucial constitutional safeguards are.

Since then, this doctrine has been the bedrock of Indian constitutional law — a protection against majoritarian overreach, ensuring that India remains a sovereign, democratic, republic with fundamental rights and checks & balances intact.
