    The instructor introduces the topic "Supreme Court decisions on amendment of Fundamental Rights" visible at the top of the screen. He points to "Golaknath vs State of Punjab (1967)," explaining the court initially held Parliament could not amend Fundamental Rights. He discusses the "24th Constitutional Amendment (1971)," noting it restored Parliament's amending power. Moving to "Kesavananda Bharati vs State of Kerala (1973)," he explains the court's ruling that Parliament can amend but cannot alter the "Basic Structure." He highlights the "42nd Constitutional Amendment (1976)" which attempted to exclude judicial review. Finally, he points to "Minerva Mills vs Union of India (1980)," explaining how the court struck down parts of the 42nd Amendment to preserve the balance of power and judicial review.

The lecture maps the judicial evolution of constitutional amendments. It starts with Golaknath restricting Parliament, followed by the 24th Amendment restoring that power. The Kesavananda Bharati case is the cornerstone, introducing the Basic Structure Doctrine to limit absolute amending power. The 42nd Amendment represents an attempt to bypass this limit, checked by the Minerva Mills judgment. This sequence illustrates checks and balances, ensuring Fundamental Rights remain protected from arbitrary legislative changes while allowing necessary constitutional evolution. The interaction between the judiciary and legislature is central to maintaining the integrity of the Constitution.
