Explanation

The correct chronological sequence of these landmark Supreme Court cases is as follows:

  • Shankari Prasad vs. Union of India (1951): The Court upheld the Parliament's power to amend any part of the Constitution, including Fundamental Rights, under Article 368.
  • Sajjan Singh vs. State of Rajasthan (1965): The Court reaffirmed the Shankari Prasad ruling, holding that the Parliament could amend Fundamental Rights.
  • Golaknath vs. State of Punjab (1967): In a significant reversal, the Court ruled that Fundamental Rights are transcendental and the Parliament has no power to abridge them.
  • Kesavananda Bharati vs. State of Kerala (1973): The Court established the 'Basic Structure Doctrine', stating that while Parliament can amend any part of the Constitution, it cannot alter its basic structure.
