Legal Battles

 A tale of cases, day and night.  

Where rights and rules often collide,  

The courts of justice act as guide.  

Kesavananda stood with courage bold,  

Defended the Constitution’s fold.  

The Basic Structure was declared,  

Beyond amendment, it was spared.  

Maneka Gandhi, with her plight,  

Fought for liberty’s expanding light.  

Article 21, once narrow and small,  

Now protects dignity, life, and all.  

In Golaknath, rights were found,  

Too precious to be tossed around.  

Amendments stopped by a firm decree,  

Until Parliament found another key.  

Minerva Mills, in wisdom deep,  

Balanced rights and DPSPs to keep.  

Judicial review, a steadfast guide,  

To keep the Constitution alive inside.  

SR Bommai, with his fight,  

Protected federalism’s might.  

No President’s rule without review,  

States’ powers kept strong and true.  

In Vishaka, women took a stand,  

For safety in workplaces across the land.  

The court's decree, a guideline pure,  

For justice and equality, they endure.  

The shadows dark of ADM Jabalpur,  

Showed how emergency could obscure,  

But lessons learned, and laws restored,  

For rights can never be ignored.  

Through all these cases, lessons flow,  

The Constitution’s strength continues to grow.  

In every ruling, in every fight,  

Justice shines, with steady light.
