ABSTRACT

The date of 24th April is so extensively highlighted in the area of democracy and the political infrastructure of India. On the same date, in 1973, the Supreme Court of India gave the landmark judgement in the history of the Indian Judiciary i,e the Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala. Although Kesavananda Bharati, the head of the Hindu Monastery, Edneer Mutt had lost the case, the judiciary gave the people of India the most supremest law i,e the basic structure doctrine which not only protects the fundamental rights of the citizens but also protects the sovereignty and integrity of this country. In this paper, we will get to know how the political history of our country eventually developed by which this landmark judgement was created. Also on the same date, in 1993, the Panchayati Raj system was created which is the backbone of Indian Democracy at the local level.

Keywords: Fundamental Rights, Directive Principle of State Policy, Judicial Review, Separation of Power, Democracy.
