India

India gathers the modern Chief Justices and Justices of the Supreme Court of India, the country's highest constitutional court since its 1950 founding under the Constitution of India. This bench developed the basic structure doctrine limiting constitutional amendment in Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala, expanded fundamental rights jurisprudence, and pioneered the public interest litigation movement that broadened who may petition the Court directly, making it one of the most influential constitutional courts in the world.
