The Basic Structure Doctrine: Protector of Constitutional Integrity

This book explores the evolution of India’s Constitution, focusing on the development and significance of the Basic Structure Doctrine. It argues that the doctrine is pro the diverse people of India, safeguarding their interests rather than being anti-people. By restraining absolute power, the doctrine prevents corruption within government organs. The author meticulously interprets Article 368, which deals with constitutional amendments, harmonizing it with all other constitutional provisions. The book underscores that the interpretation of the Constitution is exclusively within the Judiciary’s purview. Through this judicial lens, the book demonstrates that the Basic Structure Doctrine is a vital interpretation ensuring the integrity and stability of India’s constitutional framework.
