Explanation
The 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 modified Article 368 to state that constitutional amendments could not be challenged in any court on any ground. However, in the Minerva Mills case (1980), the Supreme Court struck down this provision, ruling that the power of the judiciary to review constitutional amendments to protect the basic structure is an essential feature of the Constitution.
