Hon'ble Justice Rohinton F Nariman is a Colossus of Law. His mammoth memory is unparalleled. His speeches are mesmerizing. His knowledge of law is unmatched. He is a Genius. He is a living legend of law. Syed Naqvi Advocate Supreme Court of India.
If Justice Nariman is a typical example of judge of the Supreme Court of India, we can be assured that Indians will have justice and the Indian Judiciary is in very safe hands
Hon'ble Justice Nariaman is very knowledgeable personality that the legal profession was blessed to have, the way he explains the matter and connects the historocal background is extraordinary. A true Legend.
Wow... Fascinating lecture. One can only wonder at the wisdom and far sightedness of the founding fathers of our constitution. And of course the wisdom of the judiciary who subsequently have stood as the able guardians of our Constitution. 🙏🙏
Justice Nariman is an institution in himself. There are only a few people who while speaking create a pictorial scene in the Listener’s mind, this talk is one such example.
Our politicians from Panchats to state govt to Union govt in Delhi loot thousands of crores every day. But if same politicians to be given same posts in USA or EU, they cant loot 1 $. how? Even if caught none punished. Every one set free for "want" of evidence. Is this "intellectual calibre" of great constitution makers?? Worst constitution of the world.
What an interesting discourse on Indian constitution. For students of political science and law Justice Nariman's lecture is a feast. Long live his reputation.
The Constitution of India is the foundation of our beloved Nation, it gives rights, dignity, Liberty freedom and privileges to every Indian irrespective of religion, race , language, colour, some vested interests whoever want to tamper, modify , dissect with it must be sent to either Pakistan, Afghanistan or Somalia for life. ,
Absolutely fascinating...For a person like me , who is not lawyer , it smoothly explained the most important part ..' basic structure ' i have no words to express my gratitude...
I was lucky to have met Sir on a few occasions for legal conferences at the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India .Saw him arguing before Ld Judges....there used to be lightening and thunder of greatest advocacy..
Sir is the Donald Bradman of Indian judiciary. He is a legend in the field. For me there are 2 legends in our field one the great Nani phalkivala and other the justice nariman sir.
Fantastic lecture on Basic structure. Justice Narimans' understanding the provisions of the Constitution is unmatchable. India is great to have this type of legal luminaries. Jayaram
Wish our imminent leaders will adhere to our constitution instead o mulling of changing it Dr Ambekar was a brilliant man.we have fools wanting to amending it.
Thank you so much great Sir.Simply stunned by your mastery over the subject and the flow of unhindered oratory. I understand you highlighted also democracy and unity in diversity in our constitution as part of basic structure. Thank you again.
Great Lecture ! We cannot help but marvel at the due diligence, foresight & vision that the framers of our Constituition imparted to it thru extensive analyses & study ! Perhaps, we can think of the basic structure of the Constituition as the soul & spirit of the Constituition - the basic tenets, founding principles, intentions, motivations circumscribed in the overall situation [geo-political, socio-cultural, demographie etc.etc.] contemporaneous to the times it was framed - with an eye to the future ! The fact that substance supercedes just form ! The capacity to change gives it the required flexibility & resilience to adapt to the future ! That the route to change it is not easy - ensures that it cannot be altered to suit the whims, fancies, idiosyncracies, personal preferences & interests of future governments, unless support of a large polity is garnered thru ratification by the states ! Government - For the People, Of the People, By the People !
While this Talk by Justice Nariman may be very educative to Scholars of Law; it is extremely enlightening to thinking ordinary Citizens. This becomes important, living as we are in an 'Age of Experimentation' which may lead to varied results.
If I am not mistaken the Doctrine was set by the Kerala Supreme Court in the Kesavanda case. It had become a stare decisis in most countries. Vetri South Africa 🙏🇿🇦🙏
It originated as a civil WP against Kerala Government s orders in land acquisition case of a Hindu monastery in Kasargod, in the name of its head Kesavananda Bharati in 1970. Kerala Government was a Party to it.
I am proud to say that Judiciary system from British dynasty to Indian republic constitutional law brought so many lawers & judges both are equality in maintain the real judgement to public concerned only on merit. Later people enter the bar Association by fluke & cruke method. Doing nothing but voting to select their chairman who no wonder abide by the judgement without any solid argument.
The court has said the basic structure is un-amendable yet, I am unable to discover any decision which uses the basic structure to strike down any state action or any contract for illegality.
Diversity in our dharmic civilisation is reflected in our constitution. Contitution layers must be special breed super beings how they can remember and argue so much of diversity in law😮
I am a layman and am a common citizen. Your lecture was very lucid and simple to understand also provoke new thoughts. I beg your pardon but wish to say to us what matters is the basic preamble. It is our Gita. All the technical discussion harps on the letter and words in various acts. However I feel any Law should address The Pteamble and serve us. What is directed should enhance our faith in enlighten society. Argument should prelude this aspect and serve the ultimate goal of basic structure. Building constructed on basic foundation will collapse if faulty.
Judge Nariman, your point well taken if you are able to answer these questions: 1. In a singular view of Upholding the Constitution alone can your put the country at risk of Greater Problems like disinformation by state enemies, disintegration of the country, deliberate demographic change for vested reasons and holding back very necessary measures that are needed to safe guard the country. First address the correspondence of pending cases, that way people who are aggrieved will get rightful justice and then things will fall in place, more or less. Why do we have so much nepotism in the highest level of Indian Judiciary? Do you agree faster disposal of cases (having economical implications) will help economic growth of the nation?
Plz talk about abrogation Article 370 , is it not the violation of basic structure, apart from being abrogated without following the due process of law/procedure.
I guess rather than Basic Structure being grounded in the Constitution, we must find the Constitution as Grounded on the Basic Structure. Even if there is no preamble, no specific provisions in 368, all the principles like Democracy, Federalism, Rule of Law etc. would still ought to be read as Basic Structure. Amazing exposition. Cannot thank the great legal mind enough.
If the Constituti9n is a Superstructure, there must be a basic structure which should necedsarilly be at the foundation snd the vertical pillars snd horizontal columns. You tinker with any or all of them, the superstructure will crumple. So, the basic structure is scattered throughout the Constitution. As Justice Nariman concluded, we should look for the basic structures not as blind men but with eyes and mind wide open. We will find them.
The more & more, I read about the basic structure doctrine propounded by the Supreme Court of India in Keshvanand Bharati & subsequent judgments. I find myself agreeable to the principles of basic structure only to the extent of what Justice Khanna held in ADM Jabalbar Case. Rest is the device enunciated to usurp the power of Parliament i .e. the will of people, which is supreme in Democracy. Lastly, I would like to quote Abraham Lincoln's views on Democracy i .e. " Democracy is a government of the people, by the people and for the people"
Sir I had the chance to meet you in a Senior Adv. chamber, where I was an intern. I wanted to ask you this, how can I enhance my legal knowledge and be this enigmatic. As a beginner in this great field, what should be my modus operandi in order to become a great student of law for life.
1)What is essential basic structure of constitution ? 2) What is essential basic structure of British colonialism? 3) What is structure used in keshvanand Bharti case for verdict.? Whether structures of colonialism or Constitution of India. 4) What is different between basic structures of constitution of India in 1950 and essential basic structures of British colonialism. 5), what is essential basic structures of constitution? 6), what is essential basic structures of British colonial legislation.
Hidayatullah sui generis is like Allah and put forth to protect their religious right. When i see intervention of Muslim and length they have gone to defend their upcoming sharia state, it blew my mind.
What our esteemed Lordships never mention in their lectures is that India is ruled by exceptions created in laws rather than core laws. India's Constitution as it stands is the most unprincipled one from anywhere in the world.
One example being this Parsi priest's father Fali Nariman objected to Yogi Adityanath being elevated to Chief Ministership of UP on account of him being a Mahant while him being a Priest didn't come in conflict with the secular constitutional roles he held Lol
Supreme Court striking down the NJAC which was basically a procedure for appointment of judges in higher courts, on the basic structure doctrine was wrong. A procedure cannot be part of basic structure. Independence of judiciary is not ensured only by appointment of judges by 5 senior judges in an opaque manner.
Now you have keep pace and follow the latest amendments of the constitution made by the House of People. No individual or the Judiciary is autolised to make laws. It is the law makers in the House of people that legislate. Forget about British slavery now.

Justice Nariman has a photographic memory.....he is an enigma in field of law and justice 🙏🙏
It is both a blessing and a curse. Curse for crippling one's original thinking, blessing for easily confounding another with a reel -off from memory.

His mammoth memory is unparalleled.

He is a Genius.
He is a living legend of law.

Most certainly a misplaced understanding of Justice R.F. Nariman. Enlighten us why. @@sasikumarn5786
He is not a genius as kesavnanda did not get relief the citizen lost and state won , how can state won if citizen looses
If Justice Nariman is a typical example of judge of the Supreme Court of India, we can be assured that Indians will have justice and the Indian Judiciary is in very safe hands
Hahaha millions of pending cases and justice is safe in their hands?

Great Lecture ! We cannot help but marvel at the due diligence, foresight & vision that the framers of our Constituition imparted to it thru extensive analyses & study ! Perhaps, we can think of the basic structure of the Constituition as the soul & spirit of the Constituition - the basic tenets, founding principles, intentions, motivations circumscribed in the overall situation [geo-political, socio-cultural, demographie etc.etc.] contemporaneous to the times it was framed - with an eye to the future ! The fact that substance supercedes just form !
The capacity to change gives it the required flexibility & resilience to adapt to the future ! That the route to change it is not easy - ensures that it cannot be altered to suit the whims, fancies, idiosyncracies, personal preferences & interests of future governments, unless support of a large polity is garnered thru ratification by the states ! Government - For the People, Of the People, By the People !
Man should be in politics …………Orator par excellence ………Modi govt like Jai Shankar and Hardeep puri should appoint justice Nariman as a law minister
While this Talk by Justice Nariman may be very educative to Scholars of Law; it is extremely enlightening to thinking ordinary Citizens.
This becomes important, living as we are in an 'Age of Experimentation' which may lead to varied results.

What were the two reasons gor which the Constitution should remain flexible?
I am proud to say that Judiciary system from British dynasty to Indian republic constitutional law brought so many lawers & judges both are equality in maintain the real judgement to public concerned only on merit. Later people enter the bar Association by fluke & cruke method. Doing nothing but voting to select their chairman who no wonder abide by the judgement without any solid argument.
