Explanation

The Basic Structure doctrine was established by the Supreme Court in Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala (1973). This landmark judgment held that while Parliament has wide powers to amend the Constitution, it cannot alter its basic features. Golak Nath (1967) earlier held that fundamental rights cannot be amended, but this was overruled by Kesavananda Bharati.
