JUDICIAL PROUNCEMENT HAVE UPLIFTED THE SCOPE AND AMBIT OF ART.21 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA. (scope of article 21 of the constitution of India)

October 21, 2020

 

JUDICIAL PROUNCEMENT HAVE UPLIFTED THE SCOPE AND AMBIT OF ART.21 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA. (scope of article 21 of the constitution of India)

Introduction:  Art. 21 of the constitution of India guaranteed the fundamental right to life and personal liberty to citizens as well as to non-citizens (Chairman, Railway Board v. Chandrima Das). The object of the fundamental right of Art. 21 is to prevent infringement upon personal liberty and deprivation of life except according to the procedure established by law must be strictly followed.

Art.21 of the constitution reads asNo person shall be deprived of his life and personal liberty except according to the procedure established by law”.

Prior to the Maneka Gandhi’s decision Art. 21 guaranteed the right to life and personal liberty to citizens only against the arbitrary action of the executive and not from legislative action. The state could interfere with the liberty of citizens if it could support its action by a valid law.

Scope of Art.21- meaning and scope:

The scope of Art.21 was bit narrow till 50s. The meaning of the words “personal liberty” came up for consideration of the Supreme Court for the first time in A.K. Gopalan v. union of India AIR 1950 SC 27. In this case the petitioner, A.K. Gopalan, a communist leader was detained under the Preventive Detention Act, 1950. The petitioner challenged the validity of the detention under the Act on the ground that it was violative of his right to freedom of movement U/Art.19 (1) (d) which is the very essence of personal liberty is guaranteed by Art.21. But the court held that the ‘personal liberty’ contained in art.21 means nothing more than the liberty of the physical body, that freedom from arrest and detention without the authority of law.

But this restrictive interpretation of the expression personal liberty in A.K. Gopalan’s case has not been followed by the SC in its later decisions. In Kharak Singh v. State of U.P. AIR1963 SC1295 the SC held that the personal liberty is not only limited to bodily restraint or confinement to prisons only, it is used as compendious term including within itself all the varieties of rights which going to make up personal liberty of a man other than those dealt within Art.19 (1).

After Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India AIR 1978 SC597 case the SC not only overruled Gopalan’s case but has widened the scope of the words ‘personal liberty’ considerably. Bhagwati, J. observed:

“The expression ‘personal liberty’ in art. 21 is of widest amplitude and it covers a variety of rights which go to constitute personal liberty of man and some of them have risen to the status of distinct fundamental rights and given additional protection under art.19.” Further held that “The attempt of court should be to expand the reach and ambit of the fundamental rights rather than to attenuate their meaning and content by a process of judicial restriction.”

The court lays down great stress on the procedural safeguard. The procedure must satisfy the requirement of natural justice, it must be just, fair and reasonable.

In Francis Coralie v. Delhi Administration (AIR1981 SC746), held that the word personal liberty is of widest amplitude and it includes the ‘right to socialize’ (by detenu) with members of family and friends subject to reasonable prison regulations. Detenu’s right to have interview with his lawyer and family members is part of his personal liberty guaranteed by art 21. Right to ‘live’ is not confined to physical existence but it includes within its ambit the right to live with human dignity and all that goes along with it, namely the bare necessities of life such as adequate nutrition, clothing, and shelter, and facilities for reading, writing, and expressing ourselves in diverse forms, freely moving and mixing with fellow human beings.

The scope of art21 is further widened in the case of Bandhua Mukti Morcha v. Union of India AIR 1984,SC 802 in respect of the bonded labour and weaker section of the society. The state is under constitutional obligation to see that there is no violation of fundamental right of any person, particularly when he belongs to the weaker section of the community and is unable to wage a legal battle against a strong and powerful opponent, who is exploiting him. As art.21 assures the right to live with human dignity, free from exploitation, the central and the state govt. therefore bound to ensure observance on the various social welfare and labour laws enacted by Parliament for the purpose of securing to the workman a life basic human dignity in compliance with the Directive Principles of State Policy.

It was observed in the case of Unni Krishnan that Art.21 is the heart of the fundamental rights and it has extended the scope of this Art. by observing that the right to life includes the right to education too. (By the 86th constitutional amendment act 2002, right to education has been inserted under Art.21-A of the constitution).

 The Apex Court in the case of S.S. Ahuwalia v. Union of India and others it was held that in the expanded meaning attributed to Art.21 of the constitution, it is the duty of the state to create a climate where member of the society belonging to the different faith, caste and creed live together and therefore the state has a duty to protect their life, liberty, dignity and worth of individual which should not be jeopardized.

Further in the case of Subhas Kumar vs. State of Bihar  the apex court held that Public Interest Litigation is maintainable for ensuring enjoyment of pollution free water and air which is included in the ‘right to live’ under Art. 21.

Right to privacy as a part of Art.21 : In R. Rajagopal v. State of T.N. (1994) popularly known as “Auto Shankar case” the supreme court has expressly held the “right to privacy”, or the right to be let alone is guaranteed by Art.21 of the Constitution.

In Surjit Singh Thind vs Kanwaljit Kaur, the Punjab and Haryana HC has held that allowing medical examination of a woman for her virginity amounts to violation of her right to privacy and personal liberty enshrined under Art.21.

Conclusion: To sum up the above discussion it is clear that the provision of Art.21 was constructed narrowly at the inception but the law in respect of life and personal liberty of a person was developed gradually. New dimension have been added to Art.21 from time to time. The interpretation which has been given to the word life and personal liberty in various decisions of the apex court, it can be said that the protection of life and personal liberty has got multidimensional meaning and any arbitrary, whimsical and fanciful act of the state which deprived life or personal liberty of a person would be against that provision of Art.21 of the constitution.

                                                                                                                       

Rule of Absolute liability and strict liability

January 05, 2019
Introduction:- Generally a person could be made liable in any kind of tort only when he was either negligently or committed an intentional tort. But under the rule of "Absolute liability" a person is made liable even if he is neither negligent nor willfully commits a tort. Absolutely liability is therefore an exception under the law of tort where the liability of a person arises even if he is not at fault. In this context the rule laid down in two cases , firstly in the decision of the house of lord in *RYLANDS V. FLETCHER*, and secondly in the decision of the Supreme court of india in *M.C. MEHTA V. UNION OF INDIA*.
The rule laid down in RYLANDS V. FLETCHER
Is generally known as THE RULE OF RYLANDS V. FLETCHER or Rule of strictl Liability. Because of various exception to the applicability of this rule ,it would be preferable to call it the rule of strict liability.
While formulating the rule in M.C. MEHTA VS. UNION OF INDIA the Supreme Court itself termed the liability recognized in this case as ABSOLUTE LIABILITY, expressly stated that such liability will not be subject to such exception as have been recognized under RYLANDS VS. FLETCHER.
THE RULE OF STRICT LIABILITY:- It has been noted that in RYLANDS V. FLETCHER in 1868, the House of Lord laid down the rule recognizing "No Fault Liability". The liability recognized was strict liability i.e., even if the defendant was not negligent or rather even if the defendant didn't intentionally cause the harm or he was careful, he could still be made liable under this rule.
In RYLANDS V. FLETCHER, the defendant git a reservoir constructed, through independent contractor,over his land for providing water to his mill. There were old disused shatfs under the site of the reservoir, wich the contractor failed to observe and so didn't block them. When the water was filled in the reservoir, it brust through the shafts and flooded the plaintiff's coal mines on the adjoining land. The defendant didn't know of the shafts and had not been negligent although independent contractor had been. Even though the defendant had not been negligent, he was held liable.
Basis of the liability in the above case was the following rule propounded by the Blackburn,J.:
" We think that the true rule of law is, that the person who for his own purposes bring on his lands and collects and keeps there anything legally to do mischief if it escapes, must keep it in at his peril, and, if he does not do so, is prima facie and answerable for all the damages which his the natural consequences of it escapes".
After laying down the above rule, he stated a little later (which may be regarded as exception) that the defendant "can excuse himself by showing that the escape was owing to the plaintiff's default; or perhaps that the escape was the consequence of vis major, or the act of God; but as nothing of this short exists here, it is unnecessary to inquire what excuse would be sufficient". From the above, it appears that there must be to basic requirements in order to apply the rule laid down by Justice Blackburn along with the clarifications made by the House of Lord's :
(A) escape from one land to another
(B) non-natural use of land
(A)Escape:- in order to apply the rule of strict liability it must be proved tht the dangerous things actually escaped from the area outside the occupation and control of the defendant i.e.,in other words, dangerous things escaped from the defendant's land on to the land of another and caused damage.  For e.g., in the case of BHOPAL GAS TRAGEDY. Here the poisonous gas escaped from the premises of UNION CARBIDE COMPANY on to the lands and premises of other persons and injured/killed thousands of persons. Where, however, the damage is within the defendant's boundaries, the rule can't be applied.
Thus, if there is projection of the branches of a poisonous tree on the neighbour's land,this amounts to an escape and if the cattle lawfully there on the neighbour's land are poisoned by eating the leaves on the same, the defendant will not be liable under the rule. But, if the plaintiff's horse intrudes over the boundary and dies by nibbling the leaves of a poisonous tree there, the defendant can't be liable because there is no escape of the vegetation in this case
(B) Non-natural use of land:- Water collected in the reservoir in such a huge quantity in RYLANDS V. FLETCHER was held to be non-natural use of the land. Keeping water for ordinary domestic purposes is 'natural use'. For the use to be non-natural, it "must be some special use bringing with it increased danger to other, and must must not merely by the ordinary use of land on such a use as is proper fir the general benefit of community". In SOCHACKI V. SAS, it has been held bmthatbtge fire in a house in a great is an ordinary, natural, proper, everyday use of the fire place in a room. If this fire spreads to the adjoining premises, the liability under the rule in RYLANDS V. FLETCHER can't arise.
Thus it is necessary for applicability of the rule of RYLANDS V. FLETCHER,  there must be non-natural use of the land; like growing of a poisonous tree.
Exception to the rule of strict liability: Apart from natural use of land and non-escape of thing from one land to another, the following defences to the rule have been recognized by RYLANDS V. FLETCHER and some later decisions.
(A) default of the plaintiff;
(B) act of God ;
(C) consent of the plaintiff;
(D)act of stranger ;
(E) statutory authority
If anyone of above stated exceptions or defence is in application in any kind of mishap or dange than the defendant will not be liable to pay the damages to the plaintiff.
THE RULE OF ABSOLUTE LIABILITY:-
If an industry or enterprise is engaged in some inherently dangerous activity from which it is deriving commercial gain and that activity is capable of causing catastrophic damage than the industry officials are absolutely liable to pay compensation to the aggrieved parties. The industry can't pead that all safety measures were taken care of by them and that there was no negligence on their parts. They will not be allowed any exception neither can they taken up any defend like that of 'act of stranger' or 'act of God'.
 The following doctrine of Absolute liability that prevents the defendants from laking of any defence against payment of damages__
(1)If an industry or enterprise is involved in any inherently dangerous activity, than for any damage arising out of the conduction of the activity, the defendants will have no access to any defence or exception and will be absolutely liable to pay compensation to the plaintiff.
(2) The enterprise will be held responsible for all possible damage on consequences resulting from the activity. This will make such industries to provide safety equipments to its workers to prevent any mishap. Therefore, this will safeguard to the intrest of the worker and will give them a refined, safe working atmosphere.
(3) The element of escape which is an essential in strict liability and it may be ignored here as this restricts the application of this doctrine of Absolute liability as after incident may arise where escape of the dangerous thing like poisonous fumes may not take place outside in industry premises but may damage the workers inside. In this case, the worker's right to compensation will not be ignored. Therefore, the extent of this principle is to be applied in a wider context ruling out the elements of escape.
(4) In case where strict liability applies, compensation paid is according to the nature and quantum of damage caused but in cases of Absolute liability, compensation on damage to be paid is exemplary in nature. The amount decided upon should be more than the damage caused as industrial hazardous accidents generally caused mass death and destructin of property and environment.
In the case of M.C.MEHETA V. UNION ON INDIA AIR1987SC1086  an important development took place in India when Bhagwati CJ. revolutionized the law of the strict liability. He did not follow the principal laid down I. The case of RYLANDS V. FLETCHER, on the ground that those principle are not in keeping with the present day jurisprudential thinking.
The facts were that there was escape of Plum Gas from one of the unit of SRIRAM FOODS AND FURTILIZERS INDUSTRIES, DELHI.  Due to this leakage one advocate and several others had died. An action was brought against the industry through a writ petition under Art.32 of the Indian Constitution by way of public intrest litigation (PIL). The judge in this case refused to follow the strict liability principle set by the English law, because this rule was evolved in the year 1868 and it can't be followed in a modern industrial society with the highly developed scientific knowledge and technology where hazardous or inherently dangerous industries are necessary to carry as part of the development programme. Therefore the court than directed the organization who had filed the petition to file suits against the industry in appropriate courts within a span of 2 moths to demand compensation on behalf of the aggrieved parties.
Again in the case of BHOPAL GAS TRAGEDY UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION V. UNION OF INDIA, AIR 1990 S.C 273. This doctrine was upheld in famous Bhopal gas tragedy which took place between the intervening night of second and 3rd December,1984 leakage of methye-iso-cynide(MIC) poisonous gas from the union carbide company in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh led to a major disaster and over three thousands people lost their lives. There was heavy lost to property, flora and fauna. The effect were so grave that children in those area are born with deformites even today. A case was filed in the American New York District Court as the UNION CARBIDE COMPNY in BHOPAL was a branch of the U.S based UNION CARBIDE COMPANY. The case was dismissed there owing to no jurisdiction. The Bhopal gas disaster (processing of claims) Act,1985 and save the company for damage on behalf of the victims. The court applying the principle of Absolute liability held the company liable and order it to pay damages to the victim.
Conclusion:- In conclusion we can say that, the rule of Absolute liability is a modified version of strict liability. In case of strict liability the defendant can take the help of several defences. Wherever in the rule of Absolute liability put upon the defendant where the scope of any defence being taken is not allowed. They are held liable for payment of damages under all circumstances.
Again I the rule of strict liability the nature and quantum of damages that are payble to the plaintiff are compensatory in nature that is in accordance to the amount of loss suffered by the plaintiff, damages will be paid equivalent to the amount lost. But in Absolute liability the nature of damages that are payble to the plaintiff are exemplary.

Privity of contract (stranger to a contract can't sue) under Indian Contact Act 1872

January 05, 2019
Introduction: According to Sec.2(d) of the Indian Contract Act,1872 (hereinafter mentioned as I.C.A.), consideration may be given by Promisee or any other person. In India there's a possibility that consideration for the promise may move not from the Promisee but a third person ,who is not a party to the contact. But in Englad, the position is different , there rule is that consideration must move from the Promisee and nobody else.
Privity of Contract: The doctrine of privity of contact means only those person who are parties to the contract,can enforce the contract. A stranger to a suit can't enforce a contract eventhough the contract may have been entered into for his benefit. E.g., there's a contract between A&B. Under that contract some benefit has been conferred upon X. Here in this case if the contract has breached by B , X can't file a suit against B for the enforcement of contract as because A&B are only parties to the contract wheras X is stranger to the contract.
The rule that a stranger to a contract can't sue but in India, a person who is stranger to a consideratin can sue, because according to Indian law, consideration may be given either by Promisee or by a third party ,so, that doesn't affect the rule of privity of conrtact.
Privity under English Law:- In Tweddel v. Atkinson, it was held that only parties to a contract can sue each other. In the instant case the plaintiff, A merried a girl B. After this marriage there was a contract between A's father and B's father that each would pay a certain sum of money to A and A will have the power to sue for such sums. After the death of the two father, A brought an action against the legal representative of B's father to recover the promised amount. It was held that A couldn't sue for the same as because plaintiff was stranger to consideration so he couldn't enforce the claim.
Privity under Indian Law:- The rule of privity if contract i.e.," stranger to a contract can't bring an action"  is equally applicable in India as as in Englad. However under the I.C.A 1872, the definition of consideration is wider than the English law, yet the common law principal of privity of contract is generally applicable in India,with the effect that only a party to a contract is entitled to enforce the same.
In Jamna Das v. Ram Avatar, A had mortgage some property to X. A than sold the mortgaged property to B, B having agreed with A to pay off the mortgage debt to X. On the default of B , X brought an action against B to recover the mortgage money. It was held by the privy council that since there was no contract between X&B, so X couldn't enforce the contract to recover the amount from B.
Thus it is clear that a third person can't take an action into a contract, however there are some exceptions under this rule where a stranger to a contract can sue. So those exceptions are as follows-
(i) Trust or Charge: A well recognized exception to this rule is that that a trust or Charge created in some property in favour of third person.
In Narayani Devi v. Tagore Commercial Corp. Ltd. A had various share of the value of ₹40500. It was agreed that A would sell his shares in favour of B and in return B would pay to A ₹500 per month and after his death would pay ₹250 per month to A's widow during her life if she survived after her husband. C stood a surety for B. Some payments were made by C to A and after his death to A's widow. Thereafter the payments were stopped. A's widow brought an action against B and C to recover the amount. One of the defence pleaded was that since the plaintiff was not a party to the said agreement which was entered into by her husband and the defendants, she was not legally entitled to sue in respect of the agreement. Rejecting the contention of the defendants, the Calcutta H.C. held that from the facts and the circumstances of the case, an obligation in the nature of trust could be inferred in favour of the plaintiff and an equity having been created in her favour , accordingly she was entitled to sue even when she was not party to the contract. A decree was passed in her favour for the arrears of the amount due.
(ii) Conduct, Acknowledgement or Admission: sometimes there may be no privity of contract between the two parties, but if one of them by his conduct, acknowledgement or admission recognizes the right of the other to sue him, he may be liable on the basis of the Law of Estoppel.
In the same aforesaid case i.e., Narayani Devi, when there was no contract between the plaintiff and the defendants but the defendants in their agreement with the plaintiff's husband had agreed to pay a certain amount to the plaintiff's husband during his lifetime and thereafter to the plaintiff, the question of the right of the plaintiff to sue the defendants had made arisen. It was established that the defendants hd made certain payments to the plaintiff and after her husband's death, in pursuance of the agreement and had thereafter asked for the extension of the time to pay. Apart from that it was found that the defendants, by their admission had earlier called upon the plaintiff to execute certain documents in this connection,which imples that they considered the plaintiff by their conduct to certain rights. It was therefore held that the defendants had created such privity with the plaintiff by their conduct and by acknowledgement and by admission that the plaintiff was entitled to her action even though there was no privity to contract but the plaintiff and the two defendants, when the said contract was entered into.
(iii) Provision for marriage expenses or maintenance under family arrangement:- When under a family arrangement the contract is intended to secure a benefit to a third party he may sue in his own right as beneficiary. Such an action has been allowed in many cases where, on the partition of joint family property between the male member. A provision is made for the maintenance of the female members of the family. The basis of the recognition of such an action is the application of the rule laid down in Veeramma v. Alpayu, under a family arrangement,the father's house was to be conveyed to his daughter and the daughter undertook to maintain him in his lifetime. The daughter being a beneficiary under the compromise arrangement, it was held that she was entitled to sue for the specific performance in her favour.
Conclusion: From the above discussion we get to know that privity of contract means only those persons ,who are parties to the contract can enforce the same (English law) whereas in indian law if the contract is made for the benefit of third party than the third party can bring an action to enforce the same, if the certain exceptions as discussed supra exist.

Scope,procedure,and limitation of the Article 368 of the Constitution of india, whether the basic structure of the Constitution can be amended.

January 05, 2019
IntroductionThe constitution of India is neither rigid nor flexible,but is a combination of both. Art.386 in Part-XX gives powers to parliament to amened the Constitution and its procedure. Parliament can amend it by adding Articles, or repealing any provisions but however Parliament can't amend those provisions which destroy the basic structure of the Constitution. The American constitution is very rigid and the British constitution is very flexible. But our constitution is the synthesis of these constitution.
Scope of Art.368:- The framers of the Indian Constitution keen to avoid excessive rigidity. They were anxious to have a document which could grow with a growing nation, adopt itslef to the changing need and circumstances of a growing people. The nature of the 'Amending process' envisaged by the framers of our constitution can be understood by referring the following observation of the Late Prime Minister Pt. Nehru ,
" While we want this constitution be as solid and permanent as we can make it, there is no permanence in the Constitution, there should be certain flexibility if you make anything rigid and permanent we stop the nation's growth,of living, vital, organic people.........
In any event, we couldn't make this constitution so rigid that is can't be adopted to changing conditions. When the word is in a period of transition what we may do today may not be wholly applicable tomorrow."
       Thereby the Constitution makers has adopted the middle course to balance between rigidity and flexibility in respect of the amendment of the Constitution. Some of its provisions may be amended by parliament by a simple majority while some of its provisions can be amended only by special majority and ratification of at least 1/2 of the state legislature.
Modes of the amendment of the Constitution:
The provisions of the Constitution of India may, be amended in the following manner:-
(aBy simple majority:-Some articles e.g., Art. 5, 239-A, 312etc. May be amended by parliament by simple majority as like ordinary law. They can, thus, be amended by parliament by ordinary legislative process There are excluded from the preview of the procedure laid down by Art.368.
(b) By special majority:Articles that can be amended by special majority and laid down in Art.368. All constitutional amendments, other than those referred to above,come within this category and must be effected by a majority of the total membership of each house of Parliament as well as by a majority of not less then 2/3 of the members of that house present and voting.
(C) By special majority and ratification by states:- The following provisions can be amended only when the bill for that purpose is passed in each house of Parliament by a majority of the total membership to that house and by a majority of not less than two third of the members that house present and voting and is ratified by the legislatures of not less than one half of the states by resolution before the Bill is presented to the President for assent:-
1. Election of the President - Art. 54,55
2. Extent of the executive power of the union - Art. 73
3. Extent of the executive power of the state- Art.162
4. High court for union territories-Art.241
5. Distribution of powers between union and states - Art. 245-255
6. Any of the list in the 7th schedule.
7. Article 368 itself.
In the case of Keshwanand Bharti v. State of Kerala (1973) the Supreme Court has made it clear that parliament can amend any provisions of the Constitution but it can't alter the basic structure of the Constitution.
Procedure for amendment:  The bill to amened the Constitution may be introduced in either house of Parliament. It must be passed by each house by a majority of total membership to that house and by a majority of not less than 2/3 of the members of that house present and voting. When a bill is passed by both houses it shall be presented to the President for his assent who shall give assent to bill and there upon the Constitution shall stand amended. But a bill which seek to amend the provisions mentioned in Art.368 requiere in addition to the special majority mentioned above the ratification by the 1/2 of the states.
Art.368, however doesn't constitute the complete code. The process of amending the Constitution is the legislative process governed by the rule of that process. Thus, it is clear that most of the provisions of the Constitution can be amended by an ordinary legislative process. Only a few provisions which delt with the federal principle require a special majority plus ratification by the states.
Amendment of Fundamental Rights :- The questions whether Fundamental Rights can be amended under Art. 368 came for consideration of the Supreme Court in SANKARI PRASHAD V. UNION OF INDIA, in this case the validity of the Constitution (1st amendment) Act,1951, which inserted inter alia, Articles 31-A and 31-B of the Constitution was challenged. The amendment was challenged on the ground that it purported to take away the rights conferred by Part III which fall within the prohibition of Art.13(2) and hence,was void. It was argued that the "state" in Art. 12 included parliament and the word "law" in Art.13(2), therefore, must include constitution amendment. The Supreme Court, however, rejected the above argument and held that the power to amend the Constitution including the fundamental rights is certain in Art.368, and that the word "Law" in Art.13(2) includes only an ordinary law, made in exercise of the legislative power and doesn't include Constitutional amendment wich is made in exercise of constitutional power. Therefore, a constitutional amendment will be valid even if it violates or  takes any of the fundamental rights.
In Sajjan singh vs. State of Rajasthanthe validity of the Constitution (17th amendment) Act, 1964 was challenged. The Supreme Court approved the majority judgement given in SANKARI PRASHAD's case and held that the word "Amendment of the Constitution" means amendment of all the provisions of the Constitution. Justice Gajendra Gadkar said that if the Constitution makers intended to exclude the fundamental rights from the scope of the amending power they would have made a clear provision in behalf.
In the case of Golak Nath vs. State of Punjabthe Supreme Court held that the word "law" in Art.13(2) includes the constitutional law also and therefore a constitutional amendment can't take away or violates any of the fundamental rights guaranteed by Part-III of the Constitution. The validity of the Constitution (7th amendment) Act,1964, which inserted certain state Acts in 9th schedule was agian challenged. The Supreme Court by majority of 6:5 prospectively overruled its earlier decision in SANKARI PRASHAD and Sajjan Singh cases and held that Parliament had no power from the date of this decision to amend Part-III of the Constitution so as to take away or abridge the fundamental rights.
A limitation and amending power or the theory of basic structure:The validity of the Constitution (24th amendment) Act,1971, was challenged in Keshwanand Bharti vs State of Kerala AIR 1973 S.C. 1461popularly known as the Fundamental Right's Case. The Supreme Court stated that 24th constitutional amendment Act is valid and parliament can't take away Fundamental Rights. Supreme Court at this time came out with the "doctrine of basic structure". It states that Parliament can't amend the Constitution under Art.368 that relates to the change of basic structure of the Constitution i.e., parliament can't take away those fundamental rights that are a part of basic structure of the Constitution. Parliament than enacted 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act 1976. It states that there is no limit to the power conferred by Art.386 to the Parliament and any change brought about by Art.368 can't be questioned in the court of law.
In Minerva Mills ltd. Vs Union of India AIR 1980, the Supreme Court by 4:1 majority struck down clauses (4) & (5) of Art. 368 inserted by the 42nd Amendment and the ground that this clause destroyed the essential features of the basic structure of the Constitution. Limited amending power is a basic structure of the Constitution. Since these clauses remove all limitations on the amending power and thereby confer an unlimited amending power, it was destructive of the basic feature of the Constitution.
In Waman Rao vs. Union of India the Supreme Court held that all amendment to the Constitution which were made before April 24,1973 ( i.e.,the date on which the judgement of Keshwanand Bharti was delivered) including those by which the 9th schedule to the Constitution was amended from time to time were valid and constitutional but amendment to the Constitution made on or after that date by which the 9th schedule was amendment were left open to challenge on the ground that they were beyond the Constitution power of Parliament because that damage the basic structure of the Constitution.
In M. Nagraj vs. Union of India AIR 2007 S.C 71. The court has held that the basic structure are systematic principle underlying and connecting provisions of the Constitution. They give coherence and durability to the Constitution. This principles are part of the Constitutional law even if not expressly stated. The theory of basic structure is basic on the principle that a change in a thing doesn't involved its destruction of a thing is a matter of substance and not of form.
In M. Nagraj vs. Union of India, the Supreme Court had made it clear that the theory of basic structure is the only theory to judge the validity of the Constitutional amendments.
In I.RCelho vs. State of Tamilnadu AIR2007 the court has made it clear that use of the expression constituent power shouldn't be taken ti mean that Parliament is original constituent assembly limitation of the basic structure theory will continue to apply. The power to amend the Constitution can't be equated with the power to frame the Constitution.
In Kuldeep Nayyar vs. Union of India, AIR 2006 S.C 312, the doctrine of basic structure applies to the Constitutional amendments under Art.368 and therefore, the Constitutional amendments can be challenged on the ground of violation of the basic structure of the Constitution.
ConclusionFrom the above discussion at the conclusion we can say that Art.368 of the Constitution of India give powers to the Parliament to amend the Constitution and its procedure, but it can't destroy the basic structure of the Constitution. It may be said that the final word on the issue of the basic structure of the Constitution has not been pronounced by the Supreme Court a scenario that is unlikely to challange in near future. While the idea that there is such a thing as a basic structure to the Constitution is well established its contents can't be completely determined with an measure of finally until a judgement of the Supreme Court spells it out.
