In India, Judicial Review implies
A
the power of the Judiciary to pronounce upon the constitutionality of laws and executive orders.
Correct Answer
B
the power of the Judiciary to question the wisdom of the laws enacted by the Legislatures.
C
the power of the Judiciary to review all the legislative enactments before they are assented to by the President.
D
the power of the Judiciary to review its own judgements given earlier in similar or different cases.
Explanation
Judicial review is the power of the judiciary to examine the constitutionality of legislative enactments and executive orders, ensuring they do not violate the provisions of the Constitution. Option (d) is a common distractor but actually refers to "Review Jurisdiction" under Article 137, which is distinct from the power to invalidate laws. This question tests the core concept of constitutional supremacy and the judiciary's role as the guardian of the Constitution.
