The article primarily analyzes the most controversial topic of judicial review under Indian Constitution i.e. Judicial review of legislative actions. In democratic states, the Constitution of that state is called as the supreme and superior law rights of the people have been mentioned in the Constitution to protect it. The law of judicial review derives their authority from the law of land. Law plays an important role in society. Therefore, the concept of Law keeps on changing from time to time. Laws are enacted and implemented by the legislature and executive respectively and it is being checked by the judiciary using its power of judicial review. The validity of law must be checked according to the Constitution. That is why today various countries have proudly accepted judicial review in the constitution of their state.
