{'fundamental rights': [13, 0, 7, 20], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'democratic rights': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'statutory provision': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'punjab': [2, 0, 1, 0], 'shankari prasad singh deo': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'madras': [21, 1, 12, 15], 'west bengal': [1, 0, 0, 3], 'protection': [8, 1, 6, 26]}

The correct answer to the question is option 2. In the case of I. C. Golak Nath v. State of Punjab, it was established that the Fundamental Rights enshrined in Part III of the Constitution of India are inherent and cannot be extinguished by any constitutional or statutory provision.

Option 1, A. K. Gopalan v. State of Madras, is not the correct answer because this case dealt with the interpretation of Article 21 of the Constitution, which relates to the protection of life and personal liberty.

Option 3, State of West Bengal v. Committee for Protection of Democratic Rights, West Bengal, is also not the correct answer. This case addressed the issue of custodial violence and the violation of human rights.

Option 4, Shankari Prasad Singh Deo v. Union of India, is not the correct answer either. This case dealt with the constitutional validity of the First Amendment Act, which sought to curtail certain fundamental rights.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, I. C. Golak Nath v. State of Punjab, as it established that the Fundamental Rights in the Constitution are inherent and cannot be extinguished by any constitutional or statutory provision.
