Please check my answer. Thank you sir
Always underline imp parts of your answers.
Highlight your subheadings prominently.
The overall content is good but not the execution.
The reason being, you have discussed different phases in big paragraphs which makes the content bulky and over-explained.
Rather, under the subheadings of those phases, write these points in bullet format. That will make your answer crisper and light.
Always try to make your answer stand out from the rest. Hence you can also use flowcharts and diagrams to make your point.
The overall content and references given in the answer through various cases are perfectly fine.
thank you sir. i will work on it. especially the structure

The main body of the answer lacks depth and things are repetitive.
Divide the answer in the main body into various phases and discuss how in those phases, Indian judiciary interpreted our constitution.
In the 1st phase, it interpreted only the meaning of the texts; then in the 2nd phase it went into the appeal of several of its earlier judgements and it affected the way we saw our constitution. It also went into the idea of Basic Structure doctrine and hence, decided what can be altered and what not. (You have over-discussed basic structure doctrine)
Then in the 3rd phase, SC derived new concepts and ideas in the constitution which were hitherto missing.
In the 4th phase, the judiciary went into the discussion on the original purpose of the constitution and what were the reasons and thoughts of the constitution-makers.
Then briefly mention its overall impact and end the answer.
Write a comprehensive answer.
There is no point in discussing 3 points repetitively. It is better to discuss more dimensions with a little bit of discussion.

Good structure in the answer.
The coverage is decent in all parts of the answer.
Good content.
The content overall is quite well explained.
Could use flowcharts in your answers to use space in a better manner and bring in the X-factor.
