\nThe judgment in Golak Nath vs. State of Punjab (1967) declared that the Parliament has NO power to amend any of the provisions of Part III of the Constitution of India (Fundamental Rights).
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Golak Nath judgment held that Fundamental Rights are transcendental and immutable, and therefore not subject to amendment by Parliament under Article 368.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThis position was later overturned by the landmark judgment in Kesavananda Bharati vs. State of Kerala (1973), which held that Parliament can amend any part of the Constitution, including Fundamental Rights, but cannot alter the ‘Basic Structure’ of the Constitution. The Champakam Dorairajan case led to the First Amendment concerning reservations. The Minerva Mills case reaffirmed the Basic Structure doctrine and clarified the relationship between Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles.
