But another decision gave her government a lifeline.

What happened next changed Indian history forever.

After the Allahabad High Court verdict went against Indira Gandhi, she challenged the judgment in the Supreme Court. Represented by renowned constitutional lawyer Nani Palkhivala, her case came before Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer.
