Select the correct statement(s)Correct
a) 1 only
The Doctrine of Basic Structure is a form of judicial review that is used to test the legality of any legislation by the courts. It was evolved by the Supreme Court in the 1973 landmark ruling in Kesavananda Bharati v State of Kerala. In a 7-6 verdict, a 13-judge Constitution Bench ruled that the ‘basic structure’ of the Constitution is inviolable and cannot be amended by Parliament. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
The origins of the basic structure doctrine are found in the post-war German Constitution law which, after the Nazi regime, was amended to protect some basic laws. Jurist Nanbhoy Palkhivala who appeared against the government relied on the writings of Professor Dietrich Conrad in support of the basic structure doctrine. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.
Recently, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar sparked a debate on the separation of powers between the executive and the judiciary.
