Which of the following has NOT been explicitly recognized by Supreme Court as part of the 'Basic Structure' of the Constitution?

  1. Judicial review
  2. Federalism
  3. Parliamentary form of government

Supreme Court has recognized as basic structure: supremacy of Constitution, republican/democratic form, secularism, federalism, separation of powers, judicial review, rule of law, free/fair elections, parliamentary system, limited amending power, balance between FRs and DPSP, individual dignity. Right to Property was removed from FRs by 44th Amendment; now legal right under Article 300A, not basic structure.
