Nani Palkhivala gave us Basic Structure doctrine; his lectures attracted more crowd than cricket matches: CJI DY Chandrachud

But for him, India would not have had the basic structure doctrine, the CJI said.

“Nani shaped the history of contemporary India. When I was thinking what to speak today, I was thinking economics which was his passion. In a way this lecture is a tribute to the lawyer and economist. He dedicated his life to preserve the rights given in Constitution. If not for Nani we would not have the basic structure doctrine,” the CJI said.

The CJI also underlined that Nani stood for personal freedom and was against the protectionist and license raj policy of then government.

“Nani was opposed to then protectionist policy of the govt. He was against policies which denied persons their right to exercise liberty and freedom…We could say that this was certainly true for Nani,” the CJI said.
