Discussion
The basic structure doctrine is an Indian Judicial principle that the Constitution of India has certain basic features that cannot be attend or destroyed through amendments by the parliament. In which specific case was this propounded ?
Answer: C
The basic structure doctrine was laid down in Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala.
In 1973 a 13-judge bench held by 7 to 6 that Parliament can amend any part of the Constitution but cannot alter or destroy its basic structure. (The stem's 'attend' is a slip for 'altered'.)
Golak Nath (1967) held that Fundamental Rights could not be amended at all, Sajjan Singh (1965) upheld Parliament's amending power, and Indira Gandhi v. Raj Narain (1975) applied the doctrine after it had been laid down.
