Solution

The correct option is C
Justice Venkatachaliah
Explanation:

In the late nineties, efforts were made to review the entire Constitution. In the year 2000 a commission to review the working of the Constitution was appointed by the Government of India under the chairmanship of a retired Chief Justice of the SupremeCourt, Justice Venkatachaliah. Opposition Parties and many other organisations boycotted the commission. While a lot of political controversy surrounded the commission, the commission stuck to the theory of basic structure and did not suggest any measures that would endanger the basic structure of the Constitution.
