Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (6 September) expressed grief over the passing away of Kesavananda Bharati, a seer whose legal fight led to the Constitution's 'basic structure' doctrine.
The 79-year-old Bharati, the head of the Edneer Math in Kerala's Kasargod, passed away Sunday morning.
The case was heard by the largest ever SC bench of 13 judges for 68 days and holds the record for the longest hearing ever to have taken place. The hearing in the case started on 31 October 1972 and concluded on 23 March 1973.
