State of Rajasthan v. union of India 1977

spiritually uplifted. In such a system, the states cannot stand
in the way of legitimate and comprehensively planned
development of the country on the manner directed by the
central government.
State of Karntaka v. union of India and anr,. 1978

The supreme court held that, strictly speaking our

independent and sovereign state could be said to have joined

as may be the position in some other countries of the world.
It is because of that reason that sometimes it has been
characterized as quasi-federal in nature.
Miss Rita Nirankari v. university of Delhi 1984

center.

violation of article 19(1)(a) . Supreme court held that the freedom
of speech and expression includes freedom of propagation of
ideas that can only be ensured by circulation.
Hamdard Dawakhana v. union of India
In this case supreme court had creating a distinction and
said that the advertisements do not come in the category

and passed 17th constitutional amendment act. This 17th
constitutional amendment was challenged in supreme court
