    Question

    The Principle of Fundamental Rights cannot be amended under Article 368, was propounded by the Supreme Court of India in:

    A.

    Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India

    B.

    Golak Nath v. State of Punjab

    C.

    Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala

    D.

    Gopalan v. State of Madras

    Correct option is C

    The landmark case of Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala (1973) introduced the Basic Structure Doctrine. The Supreme Court held that while Parliament has the power to amend the Constitution under Article 368, it cannot alter the Basic Structure of the Constitution, including the Fundamental Rights. This case became one of the most significant in Indian constitutional history, protecting the core principles of the Constitution from being eroded by amendments.
