&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The historic Fundamental Rights case prevented the nation from slipping into a totalitarian regime&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Kesavananda Bharati Swamiji, the sole unwitting petitioner in the historic Fundamental Rights case which prevented the nation from slipping into a totalitarian regime, died on Sunday. He was 80.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Though the judgment is a landmark, the Swamiji did not win any relief in the case. The amendments in the Kerala land reforms law which he had challenged were upheld by the Supreme Court in 1973.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It was senior advocate Nani Palkhivala, representing Swamiji, who extended the ambit of the case. Mr. Palkhivala saw an opportunity through Swamiji&amp;#39;s case to challenge a series of constitutional amendments introduced by the Indira Gandhi government granting unlimited power to Parliament to alter the Constitution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Courtroom Genius, a biography of Mr. Palkhivala co-authored by senior advocates Soli Sorabjee and Arvind Datar, said the seer never met or spoke with the great lawyer. In fact, the book said, Swamiji was quite surprised at the time to see his name in the newspapers everyday and wondered why his case, challenging only certain land reforms in Kerala, was taking so long.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;By sheer statistics, leave alone the law it laid down, the &amp;ldquo;Kesavananda Bharati versus State of Kerala&amp;rdquo; case is unique. The case was heard by a Bench of 13 judges &amp;mdash; the largest formed in the Supreme Court. It was heard over 68 working days from October 1972 to March 1973. The judgment was a mammoth 703 pages.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Kesavananda Bharati judgment introduced the Basic Structure doctrine which limited Parliament&amp;rsquo;s power to make drastic amendments that may affect the core values enshrined in the Constitution like secularism and federalism. The verdict upheld the power of the Supreme Court to judicially review laws of Parliament. It evolved the concept of separation of powers among the three branches of governance &amp;mdash; legislative, executive and the judiciary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But democracy won that day on a wafer-thin 7:6 majority. The judges were split down the middle until the 13th judge, Justice H.R. Khanna, supported the view that constitutional amendments should not alter the &amp;ldquo;basic structure&amp;rdquo; of the Constitution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The historic Fundamental Rights case prevented the nation from slipping into a totalitarian regime&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Kesavananda Bharati Swamiji, the sole unwitting petitioner in the historic Fundamental Rights case which prevented the nation from slipping into a totalitarian regime, died on Sunday. He was 80.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Though the judgment is a landmark, the Swamiji did not win any relief in the case. The amendments in the Kerala land reforms law which he had challenged were upheld by the Supreme Court in 1973.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It was senior advocate Nani Palkhivala, representing Swamiji, who extended the ambit of the case. Mr. Palkhivala saw an opportunity through Swamiji&amp;#39;s case to challenge a series of constitutional amendments introduced by the Indira Gandhi government granting unlimited power to Parliament to alter the Constitution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Courtroom Genius, a biography of Mr. Palkhivala co-authored by senior advocates Soli Sorabjee and Arvind Datar, said the seer never met or spoke with the great lawyer. In fact, the book said, Swamiji was quite surprised at the time to see his name in the newspapers everyday and wondered why his case, challenging only certain land reforms in Kerala, was taking so long.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;By sheer statistics, leave alone the law it laid down, the &amp;ldquo;Kesavananda Bharati versus State of Kerala&amp;rdquo; case is unique. The case was heard by a Bench of 13 judges &amp;mdash; the largest formed in the Supreme Court. It was heard over 68 working days from October 1972 to March 1973. The judgment was a mammoth 703 pages.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Kesavananda Bharati judgment introduced the Basic Structure doctrine which limited Parliament&amp;rsquo;s power to make drastic amendments that may affect the core values enshrined in the Constitution like secularism and federalism. The verdict upheld the power of the Supreme Court to judicially review laws of Parliament. It evolved the concept of separation of powers among the three branches of governance &amp;mdash; legislative, executive and the judiciary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But democracy won that day on a wafer-thin 7:6 majority. The judges were split down the middle until the 13th judge, Justice H.R. Khanna, supported the view that constitutional amendments should not alter the &amp;ldquo;basic structure&amp;rdquo; of the Constitution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The historic Fundamental Rights case prevented the nation from slipping into a totalitarian regime&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Kesavananda Bharati Swamiji, the sole unwitting petitioner in the historic Fundamental Rights case which prevented the nation from slipping into a totalitarian regime, died on Sunday. He was 80.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Though the judgment is a landmark, the Swamiji did not win any relief in the case. The amendments in the Kerala land reforms law which he had challenged were upheld by the Supreme Court in 1973.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It was senior advocate Nani Palkhivala, representing Swamiji, who extended the ambit of the case. Mr. Palkhivala saw an opportunity through Swamiji&amp;#39;s case to challenge a series of constitutional amendments introduced by the Indira Gandhi government granting unlimited power to Parliament to alter the Constitution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Courtroom Genius, a biography of Mr. Palkhivala co-authored by senior advocates Soli Sorabjee and Arvind Datar, said the seer never met or spoke with the great lawyer. In fact, the book said, Swamiji was quite surprised at the time to see his name in the newspapers everyday and wondered why his case, challenging only certain land reforms in Kerala, was taking so long.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;By sheer statistics, leave alone the law it laid down, the &amp;ldquo;Kesavananda Bharati versus State of Kerala&amp;rdquo; case is unique. The case was heard by a Bench of 13 judges &amp;mdash; the largest formed in the Supreme Court. It was heard over 68 working days from October 1972 to March 1973. The judgment was a mammoth 703 pages.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Kesavananda Bharati judgment introduced the Basic Structure doctrine which limited Parliament&amp;rsquo;s power to make drastic amendments that may affect the core values enshrined in the Constitution like secularism and federalism. The verdict upheld the power of the Supreme Court to judicially review laws of Parliament. It evolved the concept of separation of powers among the three branches of governance &amp;mdash; legislative, executive and the judiciary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But democracy won that day on a wafer-thin 7:6 majority. The judges were split down the middle until the 13th judge, Justice H.R. Khanna, supported the view that constitutional amendments should not alter the &amp;ldquo;basic structure&amp;rdquo; of the Constitution.&lt;/p&gt;

Kesavananda Bharati — the petitioner who saved democracy, but lost his case in Supreme Court -Krishnadas Rajagopal

-The Hindu The historic Fundamental Rights case prevented the nation from slipping into a totalitarian regime Kesavananda Bharati Swamiji, the sole unwitting petitioner in the historic Fundamental Rights case which prevented the nation from slipping into a totalitarian regime, died on Sunday. He was 80. Though the judgment is a landmark, the Swamiji did not win any relief in the case. The amendments in the Kerala land reforms law which he had challenged were upheld by the Supreme Court in 1973. It was senior advocate Nani Palkhivala, representing Swamiji, who extended the ambit of the case. Mr. Palkhivala saw an opportunity through Swamiji's case to challenge a series of constitutional amendments introduced by the Indira Gandhi government granting unlimited power to Parliament to alter the Constitution. Courtroom Genius, a biography of Mr. Palkhivala co-authored by senior advocates Soli Sorabjee and Arvind Datar, said the seer never met or spoke with the great lawyer. In fact, the book said, Swamiji was quite surprised at the time to see his name in the newspapers everyday and wondered why his case, challenging only certain land reforms in Kerala, was taking so long. By sheer statistics, leave alone the law it laid down, the “Kesavananda Bharati versus State of Kerala” case is unique. The case was heard by a Bench of 13 judges — the largest formed in the Supreme Court. It was heard over 68 working days from October 1972 to March 1973. The judgment was a mammoth 703 pages.
