Explanation
★Correct matching: SP Gupta with the judges transfer issue, MC Mehta with Taj pollution, Kesavananda Bharati with the basic structure, and Common Cause with petrol pump allotment.
★SP Gupta v. Union of India (1982), the First Judges case, dealt with the transfer and appointment of judges and expanded public interest litigation.
★MC Mehta v. Union of India (1984) concerned the threat to the Taj Mahal from air pollution and the protection of the environment.
★Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala (1973) laid down the basic structure doctrine.
★Common Cause v. Union of India dealt with the arbitrary allotment of petrol pumps and public accountability.
★Several of these cases were landmark Public Interest Litigations that widened access to justice.
★For NET, link each case to its core subject and remember MC Mehta for a series of environmental judgments.
