borrowed from almost every constitution of the world. several salient features
of Indian Constitution that distinguish it from theconstitution of other
countries.

constitution (as adopted in 1949) have undergone a considerable change, on
account of several amendments particularly 7th,42nd, 44th, 73rd, 74th, and
97th amendment.
In fact, the 42nd amendment act (1976) is known as ‘mini-constitution’
due to the important and large number of changes made by it in various parts of
the Constitution. however, within the kesavananda Bharati case (1973),
the Supreme Court ruled that the constituent power of Parliament under Article
368 doesn’t enable it to change the‘basic structure‘ of the constitution.

constitution .
The Constitution of India is neither rigid nor flexible it is synthesis of both
types.
Article 368 provides for two types of amendments are as follow:-

(b). some other provisions can be amended by a special majority of the
Parliament with the satisfaction by half of the total states.

5. Irrevocability of Constitution

Parliamentary form of Government
The constitution of India has opted for theBritish parliamentary system
of Govt instead of the American presidential system of Govt . the
parliamentary system is predicated on theprinciple of cooperation and
co-ordination between the legislative and executive organs while the
presidential system is predicated on the doctrine of separation of powers
between two organs.
the parliamentary system is additionally referred to as theWestminster
model of government, responsible Government and cabinet
government

4. Membership of the ministers in the legislature
5. The leadership of the prime minister or the chief minister
6/9
6. Dissolution of the lower house (Lok Sabha or assembly)
Synthesis of Parliamentary Sovereignty and Judicial Supremacy
The doctrine of thesovereignty of Parliament is associated with theBritish
while the principle of judicial Supremacy has been taken from the
American Supreme Court.
the Indian parliamentary system differs from the British system.
the scope of Judicial review power of the supreme court in India is
narrower than the USA because American constitution provides for ‘due
process of law’ against of procedures established by law, therefore,the
farmers of Indian Constitution have preferred proper synthesis between
British principle of parliamentary, sovereignty and American
principle of judicial Supremacy.
Integrated and Independent Judiciary
The supreme court stands at the top of theintegrated judicial system in
the country below it there is high court at the state level under a high court
there is a hierarchy of subordinate court that is District Court and other
Lower court.
this single system of court enforces both thecentral laws as well as the
state laws, unlike in the USA , where the federal law are enforced by the
federal Judiciary,
and the State Laws are enforced by thestate Judiciary. the supreme court is
a federal court, the highest court of appeal the guarantor thefundamental
rights of the citizen and the guardian of the Constitution. hence the
constitution has made various provision to ensure its independence –
security of tenure of the judges , fixed service condition for the judges,
all the expenses of the supreme court charged on theconsolidated fund of
India prohibition on the discussion on the conduct of judges in thelegislature,
ban on practice after retirement power to punish for its contempt vested in the
supreme court separation of Judiciary from the executive.
Fundamental Rights
Part (III) of the Indian Constitution guarantees six fundamental rights to all
the citizens.
7/9
1. Right to Equality under Article (14 – 18)
2. right to freedom under article (19 – 22)
3. right against exploitation under article (23 – 24)
4. right to freedom of religion under article (25 – 28)
5. cultural and educational right under article (29 – 30)
6. right to constitutional remedies under article (32)
They are justiciable in nature that is there enforceable by the courts for their
violation.
The aggrieved person can directly attend the supreme court which may
issue the writs of habeas, Corpus, mandamus prohibition certiorari, and
quo-warranto for the restoration of his rights.
However, fundamental rights aren’t absolute and subject to reasonable
restrictions.
Further, they’re not sacrosanct and are often curtailed or repealed by the
Parliament through a Constitutional Amendment.
They will even be suspended during the operation of a national emergency
except the proper guaranteed by articles 20 and 21.
Directive principles of states policy
Enumerated in part IV of the Constitution .
They can be classified into three broad categoriessocialist Gandhian
and liberal intellectual.
The directive principle are meant for promoting the ideal ofsocial and
economic democracy.
They seek to determine a state in India however unlike thefundamental
rights Directives aren’t justiciable nature that’s they’re not enforceable by
the courts for their violation.
Hence, they impose a moral obligation on the state authorities for there
application.
In the Minerva Mills case (1980) Supreme Court held that the
Indian constitution founded on the bedrock of the balance between the
fundamental rights and Directive principles.
Fundamental duties
8/9
The original constitution didn’t provide for the fundamental duties of
citizens were added during the operation of internal emergency in (1975 -
77) by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act 1976 on the advice of
Swaran Singh committee 86th amendment act 2002 added another
fundamental duty the part (IV-A) of the constitution (which consists of
just one article 51-A) specifies the eleven fundamental duties viz., to
respect the constitution national flag and Read more….

  • 7. 6. Dissolution of the lower house (Lok Sabha or assembly) Synthesis of Parliamentary Sovereignty and Judicial Supremacy The doctrine of thesovereignty of Parliament is associated with theBritish while the principle of judicial Supremacy has been taken from the American Supreme Court. the Indian parliamentary system differs from the British system. the scope of Judicial review power of the supreme court in India is narrower than the USA because American constitution provides for ‘due process of law’ against of procedures established by law, therefore,the farmers of Indian Constitution have preferred proper synthesis between British principle of parliamentary, sovereignty and American principle of judicial Supremacy. Integrated and Independent Judiciary The supreme court stands at the top of theintegrated judicial system in the country below it there is high court at the state level under a high court there is a hierarchy of subordinate court that is District Court and other Lower court. this single system of court enforces both thecentral laws as well as the state laws, unlike in the USA , where the federal law are enforced by the federal Judiciary, and the State Laws are enforced by thestate Judiciary. the supreme court is a federal court, the highest court of appeal the guarantor thefundamental rights of the citizen and the guardian of the Constitution. hence the constitution has made various provision to ensure its independence – security of tenure of the judges , fixed service condition for the judges, all the expenses of the supreme court charged on theconsolidated fund of India prohibition on the discussion on the conduct of judges in thelegislature, ban on practice after retirement power to punish for its contempt vested in the supreme court separation of Judiciary from the executive.

The aggrieved person can directly attend the supreme court which may issue the writs of habeas, Corpus, mandamus prohibition certiorari, and quo-warranto for the restoration of his rights. However, fundamental rights aren’t absolute and subject to reasonable restrictions. Further, they’re not sacrosanct and are often curtailed or repealed by the Parliament through a Constitutional Amendment. They will even be suspended during the operation of a national emergency except the proper guaranteed by articles 20 and 21. Directive principles of states policy Enumerated in part IV of the Constitution . They can be classified into three broad categoriessocialist Gandhian and liberal intellectual. The directive principle are meant for promoting the ideal ofsocial and economic democracy. They seek to determine a state in India however unlike thefundamental rights Directives aren’t justiciable nature that’s they’re not enforceable by the courts for their violation. Hence, they impose a moral obligation on the state authorities for there application.
