In which of the following cases has the Supreme Court ruled by majority that Parliament cannot amend Fundamental rights exercising its power under Article 368?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

The 1967 majority in I C Golaknath v State of Punjab held that Parliament could not amend the Constitution to take away or abridge Part III fundamental rights. The question identifies that historical decision, rather than stating the governing rule today.

Current law: Kesavananda Bharati (1973) displaced that absolute limitation: Parliament can amend constitutional provisions, including fundamental rights, subject to the basic-structure limitation. That distinction still governs this historical case-identification question.
