Q.Identify correct statements about basic structure theory, correct the incorrect ones (5 statements re: Constitution specifying basic tenets, legislature amend power, judiciary defining basic structure, Kesavananda Bharati case, increased judiciary powers).

Of the five statements about the basic structure theory, only the claim that the Constitution itself specifies the basic tenets is incorrect — the theory was actually invented entirely by the judiciary through interpretation. …

1. INCORRECT. "Constitution specifies the basic tenets" is not true — the chapter is explicit that "there is no mention of this theory in the Constitution. It has emerged from judicial interpretation." Corrected statement: the basic structure of the Constitution is not defined anywhere in its text; it was developed entirely by the judiciary, through interpretation, starting with the Kesavananda Bharati case.

3. CORRECT. The same ruling "places the Judiciary as the final authority in deciding if an amendment violates basic structure and what constitutes the basic structure" — so it is the judiciary, not the Constitution's text or Parliament, that has defined which aspects count as basic structure. …
