24th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1971 inserted Art, 13(4) in the Indian Constitution to overrule the view taken by the Supreme Court of India in the case of :
Answer: D
The 24th Amendment overruled Golak Nath v. State of Punjab.
In Golak Nath (1967) the Supreme Court held that Parliament could not amend the Constitution to take away or abridge fundamental rights, treating an amending Act as 'law' under Article 13. The 24th Amendment (1971) inserted Article 13(4), declaring that nothing in Article 13 applies to amendments under Article 368, and amended Article 368 to confirm Parliament's power.
Sajjan Singh (1965) had upheld Parliament's power, and Kesavananda Bharati (1973) and Minerva Mills (1980) came after the amendment.
