یا ترمیم کر سکتی ہے یا اس کی کسی شق کو ختم کر سکتی ہے۔یہ بات اہم ہے کہ بھارت کی سپریم کورٹ نے ایک فیصلہ میں آئین کی اس شق کو ختم کر دیا تھا۔بھارت کی سپریم کورٹ نے اپنے فیصلہ میں لکھا تھا: "The newly introduced clause 5 of article 368 transgresses the limitations on the amending power of Parliament and is hence unconstitutional۔It demolishes the very pillars on which the preamble rests by empowering the Parliament to exercise its constituent power without any "limitation whatever"۔"No constituent power can conceivably go higher than the sky-high power conferred by clause (5), for it even empowers the Parliament to "repeal the provisions of this Constitution", that is to say, to abrogate the democracy۔and substitute for it a totally antithetical form of Government۔That can most effectively be achieved, without calling a democracy by any other name, by a total denial of social, economic and political justice to the people, by emasculating liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship and by abjuring commitment to the magnificent ideal of a society of equals۔The power to destroy is not a power to amend۔219
