Explanation– In Keshavananda Bharti Case, Supreme Court held that Preamble is a Part of constitution. And it can neither be the source of power nor the prohibition on power. Therefore, statement 1 and 2 is incorrect.
Regarding statement 3, first of all Preamble is not basic structure, rather it’s some provisions like equality, socialism, secularism are the part of basic structure. Also, basic structure can never be amended, so how can preamble be amended after being basic structure. So, statement 3 is also incorrect.
