The correct answer is Option 1 - Justice Venkatachaliah
The Government of India appointed a commission under the chairmanship of retired Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Venkatachaliah, to review the working of the Constitution.
In the late nineties, efforts were made to review the entire Constitution. In the year 2000 a commission to review the working of the Constitution was appointed by the Government of India under the chairmanship of a retired Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Venkatachaliah. Opposition parties and many other organisations boycotted the commission. While a lot of political controversy surrounded this commission, the commission stuck to the theory of basic structure and did not suggest any measures that would endanger the basic structure of the Constitution. This shows the significance of the basic structure doctrine in our constitutional practice. |
