Question

Accepted Answer

In I.C. Golaknath vs. State of Punjab (1967), an 11-judge bench of the Supreme Court introduced the Doctrine of Prospective Overruling into Indian jurisprudence. Subba Rao, C.J., held that the court's ruling—which stated that Parliament had no power to amend Fundamental Rights—would apply only prospectively from the date of judgment to avoid chaotic constitutional chaos and preserve structural adjustments made by past amendments.
