Explanation

The chronological sequence of these landmark events in Indian constitutional history is as follows:

  1. Golak Nath Case (1967): The Supreme Court ruled that Parliament could not take away or abridge any Fundamental Rights.
  2. 24th Constitutional Amendment Act (1971): This was passed to nullify the Golak Nath judgment, asserting that Parliament has the power to amend any part of the Constitution, including Fundamental Rights.
  3. Kesavananda Bharati Case (1973): The Court upheld the 24th Amendment but propounded the "Basic Structure Doctrine," stating that Parliament cannot alter the basic structure of the Constitution.
  4. 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act (1976): Enacted during the Emergency, it is known as the "Mini-Constitution" and sought to limit the power of the judiciary.

Therefore, the correct chronological order is I (1967), III (1971), II (1973), and IV (1976).
