Identify the case which did not deal with the basic structure of the Indian Constitution?
Answer: C
A.K. Roy v. Union of India (1982) dealt with preventive detention, and not with the basic structure, so option C is the case that did not deal with it.
Kesavananda Bharati (1973), Minerva Mills (1980) and Golaknath (1967) all concerned the amending power and the basic structure of the Constitution.
The basic structure doctrine was developed in Kesavananda Bharati (1973) and applied in Minerva Mills (1980), and Golaknath (1967) dealt with whether fundamental rights can be amended. A.K. Roy v. Union of India (1982) decided on the validity of the National Security Ordinance and preventive detention, so it did not deal with the basic structure.
