Abstract
Black Law Dictionary defines Amendment as, “A formal revision or addition proposed or made to a statute, Constitution, pleading, order, or another instrument”. As per Parliamentary law, it means “a motion that changes another motion wording by striking out text, inserting or adding text, or substituting text”. The researcher in this research paper will mainly focus on A K Gopalan v. the State of Madras and I C Golaknath v. State of Punjab cases in reference to the changes it brought up in matters relating to amendments.
