The Habeas Corpus majority decision therefore deferred to the original intent of the framers of India's constitution. However, the Indira Gandhi government flagrantly misused their powers during the Emergency, and as a result, the doctrine of "original intent" has never taken a firm hold in India.
The Supreme Court's decision on Habeas Corpus relied on the original intention behind India's Constitution, but the Indira Gandhi government's actions during the Emergency undermined this principle. This has led to a lack of firm adherence to the doctrine of "original intent" in India.
