SC to pass order on Nov 25 on pleas to delete the words ‘secular’ and ‘socialist’ from Preamble

The Supreme Court on Friday said that it would pass an order on November 25 on a batch of petitions seeking to delete the words ‘secular’ and ‘socialist’ from the Preamble of the Indian Constitution.

A bench of Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar, while hearing the petitions, observed that being socialist in the Indian sense is understood only to be a “welfare state.”

The bench said secularism is part of the basic structure of the Constitution and the 42nd Amendment had been examined by the Supreme Court earlier as well.

The apex court was hearing petitions filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, lawyers Balram Singh, Karunesh Kumar Shukla and Ashwini Upadhyay.

Earlier also, the bench had said that secularism has always been held to be a part of the basic structure of the Constitution and orally observed that ‘secular’ and ‘socialist’ in the Preamble need not be looked at through the western lens.

“Socialism can also mean that there should be equality of opportunity and the wealth of a country should be distributed equally. Let’s not take the Western meaning. It can have some different meaning as well. Same with the word secularism,” the bench had said.

BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, who is one of the petitioners, had said that the two words inserted in the Preamble in 1976 cannot bear the date of the original Preamble, which was framed in 1949.

Swamy in his petition had said that the two words, inserted in the Preamble through the 42nd Constitution Amendment Act of 1976 during Emergency, violated the basic structure doctrine enunciated in the famous Kesavananda Bharati judgement by a 13-Judge bench in 1973, by which Parliament’s power to amend the Constitution was barred from tinkering with the basic features of the Constitution.

The framers of the Constitution had specifically rejected inclusion of these two words in the Constitution and alleged that these two words were thrust upon the citizens even when the framers never had intended to introduce socialist and secular concepts in democratic governance, Swamy had contended.

It was contended that such insertion was beyond the amending power of the Parliament under Article 368.

It was further stated that Dr BR Ambedkar had rejected the incorporation of these words, as the Constitution cannot thrust upon the citizens certain political ideologies by taking away their right to choose. (ANI)
