Which is the famous case under Indian Supreme Court?

One of the most famous and widely discussed cases in the history of the Indian Supreme Court is the "Keshavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala" case (1973). This case is often referred to as the "Basic Structure Case" and is considered a landmark judgment that had a profound impact on the interpretation and evolution of the Indian Constitution.

In the Keshavananda Bharati case, the Supreme Court was tasked with deciding on the validity of the 24th Amendment to the Constitution, which sought to curtail the power of judicial review. The central issue was whether there were any limitations on the power of Parliament to amend the Constitution.

The Supreme Court, through a 7-6 majority decision, held that the Parliament's power to amend the Constitution was not unlimited and that there existed a "basic structure" of the Constitution that could not be altered. This concept meant that certain fundamental features and principles of the Constitution, such as democracy, secularism, federalism, and the rule of law, were beyond the reach of the amending power of the Parliament.

The judgment in the Keshavananda Bharati case established the principle of the basic structure doctrine, which continues to be a fundamental principle of constitutional law in India. This case has had far-reaching implications in shaping subsequent judgments of the Supreme Court and has served as a check on potential constitutional amendments that may violate the basic structure of the Constitution.
