Significant Constitutional Developments

Summary

Gulzarilal Nanda served as acting Prime Minister of India twice, but no constitutional amendments were passed during his short tenures. Major Supreme Court judgments like Keshavananda Bharati (1973) and Golaknath (1967) were not during his tenure. His periods in office were transitional, with minimal impact on constitutional jurisprudence. However, the broader period saw significant cases like Keshavananda Bharati, which established the Basic Structure doctrine, limiting Parliaments power to amend the Constitution. This doctrine has had a lasting impact on Indias constitutional framework.
