Nagarathna and Sudhanshu Dhulia dissented against the majority on defining “material resources of the community” under Article 39(b) of the Indian Constitution. They championed the “Krishna Iyer Doctrine” advocating broader state control over resources for community welfare, emphasizing that interpretations should reflect historical contexts and serve the common good amidst ongoing economic inequalities in India.
