Explanation

The 9th Constitutional Amendment Act (1960) was enacted to give effect to the Indo-Pak agreement transferring Berubari Union territory to Pakistan (as per the Berubari Union Agreement of 1958). The Berubari Union case (1960) dealt with this territorial transfer. The Golaknath case (1967), Keshavananda Bharati case (1973), and Minerva Mills case (1980) were all decided AFTER the 9th Amendment was passed, so the amendment could not have been passed against them. The question asks which case it was passed 'against' - the chronological context points to the Berubari case.
