Strong — India's constitutional docket is expanding: the Supreme Court's constitution bench caseload has grown with contested questions on minority educational rights (Articles 29-30), LGBTQ+ rights under Article 21, Aadhaar validity (now under challenge in review petitions), electoral bond and campaign finance constitutionality (settled in 2024 but generating follow-on PILs), the PMLA constitutional validity (Vijay Madanlal Choudhary under challenge), the One Nation One Election constitutional amendment, and continuous GST council federalism disputes under Articles 246A and 279A. The introduction of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita / BNSS / BSA 2023 trilogy is generating fresh constitutional challenges to the criminalisation choices in the new codes. Senior constitutional advocates remain in structural deficit: the gap between supply and the scale of India's constitutional litigation load means any advocate who achieves genuine constitutional expertise by year 8-10 faces very limited competition at the highest levels of the bar.
