Abstract:
This research work mainly deals with the Doctrine of Basic Structure and how it has been
evaluated and implicated in Bangladesh. As the basic structure doctrine is the judge-made rule
that some features of the Constitution are beyond the limit of the powers of amendment of
parliament and the doctrine was first expressed in ‘Kesavananda Bharati v. The State of Kerala’
reflects judicial distress at the perceived danger to the moderate constitutional order caused by
the Indian National Congress, in particular under Indira Gandhi. So in this paper I have discussed
it. It also showed that the basic structure doctrine is only applicable to the constitutionality of
amendments and not to ordinary Acts of Parliament, which must match to the whole of the
constitution and not just to its basic structure. In this paper I have discussed about the
applicability and implications of basic structure in respect to the amendments of any feature of
the constitution.
