The emergency: It was a plan by Indira Gandhi to hold on to power. Bhushan was at a hotel in Bombay (now Mumbai) then and he was informed about the judgment by his brother Vijay Kumar from Delhi. Where was Bhushan at the time of judgment? The court-room roared with chants of 'Raj Narain ki Jai', 'Shanti Bhushan ki Jai'. The arguments concluded on May 23, 1975, which was also last working day for the High Court before the summer vacations. However, the petition appeared to be more of a vehicle for a propaganda than an election petition to Bhushan. To make it more convincing, Bhushan added three more charges to the petition and it now had eight charges. Till then, she had been saying that she took the decision of contesting from Rae Bareli on February 1, 1975. The plan worked for Shanti Bhushan. Bhushan caught her off-guard by throwing a question regarding the decision of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) about her constituency. This, after he lost the election in Rae Bareli to Indira Gandhi. A skilled lawyer, Bhushan served as the Union Law Minister from 1977 to 1979 in the Morarji Desai-led government.

As a college-student in Allahabad, Shanti Bhushan's interest in studying law was zilch. But here's what happened... Mekhala Saran. Published: 01 Feb 2023, ...

“…even if we appointed a person from outside the Supreme Court, at least some sections of the public would see it as the Janata Party government hand-picking a person for the highest judicial office. By and by, Shanti managed to enrol for an LLB degree, despite the reluctance of his father who incidentally “wanted the best for me, and in those days the best was considered to be the Indian Civil Service.” In 2009, he signed a statement, along with other luminaries like Ram Jethmalani and Fali S Nariman, suggesting that judicial appointments ought to be made only after a public debate, including review by members of the bar of the affected high courts. Writing about it in his memoir, Bhushan noted: “That was indeed a sad day for the Indian judiciary.” But he also credited Justice Jagmohan Lal Sinha, who had adjudicated the matter, for his courage and "robust independence." Because the truth is worth it.) Bhushan had called the AG’s “attitude towards this historic judgement…unworthy of the office he holds.” As recounted in his memoir: Subsequently, he went on to do BSc, but he also visited the court everyday and even helped his father draft civil briefs. But the court did uphold the Representation of the People Act, 1951. – a view which the Supreme Court itself changed a few years later. “My answer was that every constitution has some basic features which make it unique…The power given to Parliament under Article 368 was merely to amend the Constitution.
