Answer: Kesavananda Bharati case
Notes: In the Kesavananda Bharati case (1973) the Supreme Court laid down a new doctrine of the ‘basic structure’ (or ‘basic features’) of the Constitution. It ruled that the power of Parliament under Article 368 does not enable it to alter the ‘basic structure’ of the Constitution of India.
