Judgement Key Points

Core Arguments on the Amending Power under Article 368

  • The power of amendment under Article 368 is not absolute and is subject to limitations inherent in the Constitution's basic structure, ensuring that fundamental features like the supremacy of the Constitution and democratic republican form cannot be abrogated (!) (!) .
  • Parliament's amending authority derives from the Constitution itself and must operate within its framework, preventing any alteration that destroys essential elements such as the rule of law or judicial review (!) (!) .
  • The term "amendment" in Article 368 implies changes that improve or adapt the Constitution but does not extend to repealing or abrogating its foundational principles, as this would render the Constitution self-destructive (!) (!) .
  • Fundamental rights form part of the Constitution's basic structure and cannot be wholly abrogated through amendments, as they represent the conscience of the document and protect individual dignity (!) (!) .
  • The Preamble's declaration of India as a sovereign democratic republic embodies unalterable features, and amendments cannot contradict this by undermining sovereignty or democratic governance (!) (!) .
  • Judicial review is an essential attribute of the basic structure, ensuring that amendments do not violate core constitutional principles like equality and liberty (!) (!) .
  • The distribution of powers between the Union and States is a basic feature, and amendments cannot disrupt federalism by centralizing authority excessively (!) (!) .
  • The word "law" in Article 13(2) includes constitutional amendments, prohibiting any amendment that abridges fundamental rights, as these are inviolable protections (!) (!) .
  • Amendments must preserve the Constitution's identity; those altering its essential features, such as the separation of powers, are invalid (!) (!) .
  • The basic structure doctrine limits amendments to variations that align with the Constitution's core objectives, like justice, liberty, and equality (!) (!) .
  • Parliament cannot use Article 368 to convert the Constitution into an instrument of its own supremacy, as this would negate the people's sovereign will (!) (!) .
  • The amending process under Article 368 is procedural but constrained by substantive limits to maintain the Constitution's foundational elements (!) (!) .
  • Rights like equality (Article 14) and freedoms (Article 19) are integral to the basic structure and cannot be diluted beyond reasonable restrictions (!) (!) .
  • The unity and integrity of the nation, as reflected in the Preamble, cannot be fragmented through amendments that erode national cohesion (!) (!) .
  • Amendments affecting the judiciary's independence or the democratic process violate the Constitution's essence and are void (!) (!) .
  • The doctrine ensures that the Constitution evolves without losing its character, balancing change with continuity (!) (!) .
  • Parliament's power is derivative from the Constitution, not superior to it, preventing self-serving alterations (!) (!) .
  • Fundamental rights and directive principles together form the basic structure, requiring harmonious interpretation (!) (!) .
  • The amending power cannot be used to create a totalitarian framework by overriding democratic safeguards (!) (!) .
  • Judicial oversight protects the Constitution from amendments that undermine its democratic foundations (!) (!) .

JUDGMENT

S.M. Sikri, C.J.I.

I propose to divide my judgment into eight parts. Part I will deal with Introduction; Part II with interpretation of Golaknath's case; Part III with the interpretation of the original Article 368, as it existed prior to its amendment; Part IV with the validity of the Constitution (Twenty-fourth Amendment) Act; Part V with the validity of Section 2 of the Constitution (Twenty-fifth Amendment) Act, Part VI with the validity of Section 3 of the Constitution (Twenty-fifth Amendment) Act. Part VII with Constitution (Twenty-ninth Amendment) Act; and Part VIII with conclusions.

Part I-Introduction.

2. All the six writ petitions involve common questions as to the validity of the Twenty-fourth, Twenty-fifth and Twenty-ninth Amendments of the Constitution. I may give a few facts in Writ Petition No. 135 of 1970 to show how the question arises in this petition. Writ Petition No. 135 of 1970 was filed by the petitioner on March 21, 1970 under Article 32 of the Constitution for enforcement of his fundamental rights under Articles 25, 26, 14, 19 (1) (f) and 31 of the Constitution. He prayed that the provisions of the Kerala Land Reforms Act 1963 (Act I of 1964) as amended by the Kerala Land Reforms (Amendment) Act 1969 (Act 35 of 1969) be declared unconstitutional, ultra vires and void. He further prayed for an appropriate writ or order to issue during the pendency of the petition. This Court issued rule nisi on March 25, 1970.

3. During the pendency of the writ petition, the Kerala Land Reforms (Amendment) Act 1971 (Kerala Act No. 25 of 1971) was passed which received the assent of the President on August 7, 1971. The petitioner filed an application for permission to urge additional grounds and to impugn the constitutional validity of the Kerala Land Reforms (Amendment) Act 1971 (Kerala Act No. 25 of 1971).

4. In the meantime, the Supreme Court by its judgment dated April 26, 1971 in Kunjukutty Sahib v. State of Kerala, (1972) SCC 364 - (Civil Appeals Nos. 143, 203-242, 274 and 309 of 1971) D/d. 26.4.1971 : (reported in AIR 1972 SC 2097) upheld the majority judgment of the Kerala High Court in Narayanan Nair v. State of Kerala, AIR 1971 Ker 98 (FB) whereby certain sections of the Act were struck down.

5. The Constitution (Twenty-fourth Amendment) Act came into force on November 5, 1971, the Constitution (Twenty-fifth Amendment) Act came into force on April 20, 1972 and the Constitution (Twenty-ninth Amendment) Act came into force on June 9, 1972. The effect of the Twenty-ninth Amendment of the Constitution was that it inserted the following Acts in the Ninth Schedule to the Constitution:

    "65. The Kerala Land Reforms (Amendment) Act, 1969 (Kerala Act 35 of 1969).
    66. The Kerala Land Reforms (Amendment) Act, 1971 (Kerala Act 25 of 1971)."

6. The petitioner then moved an application for urging additional grounds and for amendment of the writ petition in order to challenge the above constitutional amendments.

7. The Court allowed the application for urging additional grounds and for amendment of the writ petition on August 10, 1972 and issued notices to the Advocates-General to appear before this Court and take such part in the proceedings as they may be advised.

8. When the case was placed before the Constitution bench, it referred this case to a larger bench to determine the validity of the impugned constitutional amendments.

9. Similar orders were passed in the other writ petitions.

10. The larger bench was accordingly constituted. It was then felt that it would be necessary to decide whether I.C. Golak Nath v. State of Punjab, (1967) 2 SCR 762 was rightly decided or not. However, as I see it, the question whether Golak Nath's case was rightly decided or not does not matter because the real issue is different and of much greater importance, the issue being, what is the extent of the amending power conferred by Article 368 of the Constitution apart from Article 13(2) on Parliament?

11. The respondents claim that Parliament can
