In Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala, the Supreme Court held that the Parliament cannot alter the basic structure of the Constitution, establishing a crucial precedent for judicial review.

Judicial review serves to ensure that laws and actions of the government comply with the Constitution, safeguarding the supremacy of the Constitution.

Article 13 of the Indian Constitution provides for judicial review by declaring that any law inconsistent with the fundamental rights shall be void.

The Writ of Mandamus is primarily used to enforce fundamental rights against state actions, compelling the state to perform its duty.

Amendment procedures are not considered a part of the basic structure; rather, the basic structure doctrine protects certain fundamental features from being amended.
