The Ninth Schedule of the Constitution originally

Solution

The decision in I.R. Coelho v. State of Tamil Nadu (2007) is a landmark in constitutional jurisprudence concerning the Ninth Schedule. The Supreme Court held that any law placed in the Ninth Schedule after 24 April 1973 is subject to basic structure review. The Court reasoned that judicial review itself is a basic feature and cannot be nullified through constitutional devices. This judgment reconciled earlier decisions such as Waman Rao and ensured that Parliament cannot revive unconstitutional laws by merely inserting them into the Ninth Schedule. The ruling reaffirmed the supremacy of the Constitution over parliamentary strategy.
