30. By which of the following case Parliament got the right to amend Fundamental Rights? [M.P.P.C.S. (Pre) 1991]

Correct Answer: (a) Keshvananda Bharati Case
Solution:The first time, the Supreme Court held that fundamental rights are amendable, was in the case of Shankar Prasad Vs. Union of India (1951) and Sajjan Singh Vs. Rajasthan State (1965). In the Golaknath case (1967), the prior decision was reversed, and it was held that amendment in fundamental rights is not possible. Again in Keshvananda Bharati case 1973, the Supreme Court held that the amendment power of the Parliament is wide enough but not unlimited. It may amend fundamental rights but not in such way so as to destroy the Basic Structure of the Constitution. This case outlined the power of the parliament to amend the fundamental rights without destroying the basic structure of the Constitution.
