'The Idea Of 'Basic Structure' Was Advocated For The First Time in India In Golaknath Case By Barrister M.K. Nambiar': Chief Justice UU Lalit
Meloth Krishnan Nambyar planted the seeds of "such fundamental and basic ideas", which although did not receive the imprimatur of the highest court of the land immediately, have resulted in "a huge banyan tree", under the shadow of which, every citizen can have solace and say with thanks, "It is for your efforts that the constitutional history has brought us here", said Chief Justice U.U. "Within two months of the Supreme Court being established, two Nambyars entered the Court," Chief Justice Lalit recounted, referring to an article he had read, "One, Gopalan Nambiar, through the registry of the Supreme Court. Highlighting the profundity and force of Nambyar's submissions, the Chief Justice said that "each one of the six Judges on the Bench" extensively quoted the "brilliant submissions" advanced by the barrister. Nambyar also argued that, in the words of Chief Justice Lalit, "Law within the meaning of Article 21 must be understood not in the sense of an enactment but signifying immutable and universal principles of natural justice."
