Question

The power of judicial review ensures ______________________.

• A. the supremacy of the Supreme Court
• B. that Supreme Court can review its own judgements
• C. the constitutionality of laws
• D. justice by the subordinate courts

Answer 1

The correct option is C the constitutionality of laws

The Constitution has made the supreme court the guarantor and guardian of fundamental rights. Article 13 of the Indian Constitution provides for invalidity of laws that are inconsistent with Fundamental Rights. The supreme court has the power to review legislative and administrative actions and declare them ultra vires(outside the scope of law) if they are inconsistent with the constitution.
