- P.R. Naidu v. Govt. of Andhra Pradesh

Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - L. Chandra Kumar v. Union of India
In L. Chandra Kumar v. Union of India (1997) the Supreme Court struck down the clauses of Articles 323A(2)(d) and 323B(3)(d) that excluded the jurisdiction of the High Courts over tribunal decisions, holding judicial review to be part of the basic structure. Shankari Prasad v. Union of India (1951) dealt with Parliament's power to amend fundamental rights, not with tribunals.
