Q: What is the difference between Golak Nath V. State of Punjab, 1967 and Keshwanand Bharti V. State of Kerala, 1973 ?

Ans: In Golakhnath V. State of Punjab, 1967 Case the court held that the parliament could not amend the fundamental rights. This ruling was overturned in Kesavananda Bharati vs state of Kerala 1973. In this case, the court held that the parliament could amend the Constitution, including fundamental rights, but the parliament cannot change the basic structure of the Constitution.
