      Notes:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • The\u00a0Constitution of India does not define the basic structure<\/strong>, it is a\u00a0judicial innovation<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • In\u00a0Kesavananda Bharati vs State of Kerala case (1973)<\/strong>, the Supreme Court ruled that the Parliament could amend any part of the Constitution so long as it did not alter or amend the basic structure or essential features of the Constitution.\n
          \n
        • However, the court did not define the term \u2018basic structure\u2019, and only listed a few principles \u2013 federalism, secularism, democracy \u2014 as being its part.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • The \u2018basic structure\u2019 doctrine has since been interpreted to include the supremacy of the Constitution, the rule of law, Independence of the judiciary, doctrine of separation of powers, sovereign democratic republic, the parliamentary system of government, the principle of free and fair elections, welfare state, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Judicial Review<\/strong>\u00a0refers to supervising the exercise of power by the judiciary of other government coordinating bodies with a view to ensuring that they remain within the limits set by the Constitution on their powers.\u00a0The judicial review doctrine<\/strong>\u00a0is based on the principle of rule of law and separation of powers. Judicial review is the process for testing and balancing the separation of powers.\n
            \n
          • The Concept of Judicial Review is the basic principle of the Constitution in India.\u00a0Although there is no explicit provision in the Indian Constitution for judicial review<\/strong>, it is an integral part of our Constitution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
