Abstract
Judicial review is a fundamental aspect of the legal system in many countries around the world. It is the power of the courts to review the actions of the government and other bodies to ensure that they are lawful, and that they comply with the constitution or other applicable laws. In this article, we will provide an overview of what judicial review is, how it works, and the limitations of this power.
The constitution is the highest law of India, where the rule of law prevails. The Indian constitution is the supreme law of the land, and the Indian court has the authority to overturn any laws that are passed that go against its fundamental principles. Although the Indian Constitution does not use the term “judicial review,” many of its sections do provide a clear understanding of it.[1] The judiciary in India has the authority to review the decisions made by the legislative, executive, and administrative branches of the government and to ensure that they are in accordance with our constitution. The following clause shall be void if judged to be unlawful.
