Explanation

In the Berubari Union case (1960), the Supreme Court initially ruled that the Preamble was not part of the Constitution. This view was later overturned in the landmark Kesavananda Bharati case (1973), where the Court held that the Preamble is an integral part of the Constitution. Golaknath dealt with fundamental rights and amendment power, while Minerva Mills dealt with judicial review of constitutional amendments.
