He, however, did not name Justice Nariman (retired).

Dhankhar said the impregnability of the basic structure was so “demolished to pieces” by the highest court of the land that it reversed judgments of nine high courts and in one voice held that Fundamental Rights cannot be on a holiday during the Emergency. There has to be access to the judiciary, he added. (PTI)
