What is Judicial Review?
Judicial review is the power of the judiciary to examine the constitutionality of legislative enactments and executive orders of both the Central and State governments.
The doctrine of judicial review originated and developed in the USA.
It was propounded for the first time in the famous case of Marbury V. Madison (1803) by John Marshall, the then chief justice of the American Supreme Court.
The Judicial Review has been classified into three categories:
Judicial review of constitutional amendments.
Judicial review of legislation of the Parliament and State Legislatures and subordinate legislations.
Judicial review of administrative action of the Union and State and authorities under the state.
