How does the process of amending the Constitution relate to the powers and jurisdiction of the Supreme Court?
The process of amending the Constitution does not directly relate to the powers and jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. However, it can have an indirect impact when amendments are made to constitutional provisions that deal with the powers or jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. In such cases, if a particular amendment is deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, it may be struck down as seen in the context provided where two amendments were declared invalid by the Supreme Court in the case of Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association and another vs. Union of India in its judgment dated 16-10-2015.
