The Minerva Mills case (1980) challenged the constitutional amendments that restricted judicial review and fundamental rights during the Emergency. The Supreme Court struck down the controversial clauses and reaffirmed the Basic Structure Doctrine, which limits Parliament's power to amend the Constitution. In 1971, the Government of India acquired the Minerva Mills Company and nationalised the company. The company went to the Supreme Court, and the same case was named Minerva Mills Case v Union of India. A landmark case of the Supreme Court of India that applied and evolved the basic structure doctrine of the Constitution. The court struck down clauses that enlarged the amending power of Parliament and limited the fundamental rights of individuals.
