JUDGMENT

The judgment of Kesavananda addressed the wide range of various questions which had emerged in
Golaknath. It announced Fundamental Rights as amendable under Article 368 and by approving 24th
constitutional amendment act it acknowledged that this article contains both power and procedure to
amend the constitution of this article. It additionally clarified that amendment in Article 368 and law in
Article 13 are not the equivalent. There is a reasonable differentiation between the two and Parliament
has position to make constitutional amendments under its constituent position which is far more
extensive than its legislative power. The case likewise addressed the dilemma over Right to Property and
announced that it doesn't frame the part of Basic Structure of the constitution, thus it very well may be
amended and 25th and 29th constitutional amendment are valid as well.

The Supreme Court keenly managed the significant issue of the power of Article 368 of the constitution
and next to each other additionally viewed as the wide range of various significant elements contended.
The SC through its judgment by overruling Golaknath gave wide amending powers and yet perceived
and propounded the idea of "BASIC STRUCTURE DOCTRINE". Supreme court likewise addressed that
"amend" is not absolute and in order for it to be constitutionally valid and acceptable it has to pass the
test of basic structure.
