💥Does the Supreme Court take “possession” of the Basic Structure?
Or
Does the Supreme Court assume control or ownership over the doctrine of Basic Structure ?
👉The Supreme Court of India does not “possess” the Basic Structure in the sense of owning or creating it arbitrarily. Instead, it has interpreted, defined, and protected the Basic Structure doctrine as a constitutional safeguard against the misuse of amending power under Article 368.
👉 The Basic Structure doctrine is a judicial innovation to preserve constitutional identity.
✨Examples of protected features:
•Supremacy of the Constitution
•Rule of law
•Separation of powers
•Judicial review
•Fundamental rights
•Secularism and democracy
So, the SC does not possess it in a proprietary sense but enforces it as a custodian.

✨Belgaum Session of 1924 :-
👉The only session to be presided by Mahatma Gandhi.
👉Key things that happened during this session :-
a) The Congress endorsed Gandhi's decision to allow the Swaraj Party to carry on work on the legislatures "on behalf of the Congress" and as an "integral" part of the Congress.
b) Gandhiji gave the Swarajists a majority of seats on his Working Committee.
c) So, the mutual trust between the Swarajists and No-changers was "furthered".
d) Gandhiji stressed on the boycott of foreign cloth and prescribed constructive program ( like - removal of untouchability, Hindu-muslim unity, spinning of Khadi ) as the chief means for attainment of Swaraj
👉 The Belgaum session also featured a Congress exhibition, which aimed at popularizing khadi and handicrafts.
👉Gandhi stayed in a hut called “Congress Niwas”, which is now a museum.
👉 Symbolism of the Venue
• Belgaum was in Bombay Presidency at the time, now part of Karnataka.
• Choosing this location had multiple symbolic goals:
a ) Show that the freedom movement was pan-Indian and not confined to Bengal, Punjab, or U.P.
b) Emphasize linguistic and regional harmony amid emerging sub-nationalist feelings.
