Kesavananda Bharati vs The State of Kerala

• Justice Hans Raj Khanna

• Establishment of the Basic Structure Doctrine of Indian Legal System

• The Golaknath vs The State of Punjab had already established that the parliament is not allowed to create any new law moving forward that takes away any fundamental rights, but they allows the existing such amendments to stay valid. Kesavananda Bharati vs The State of Kerala changed that.
