Q. The concept of Judicial Review in our Constitution has been taken from the Constitution of :

1. Canada
2. USA
3. England
4. Australia

Answer: USA

Judicial review in India has been taken from USA.

Judicial review is a process under which executive or legislative actions are subject to review by the judiciary. A court with authority for judicial review may invalidate laws and governmental actions that are incompatible with a higher authority: an executive decision may be invalidated for being unlawful or a statute may be invalidated for violating the terms of a constitution. Judicial review is one of the checks and balances in the separation of powers: the power of the judiciary to supervise the legislative and executive branches when the latter exceed their authority.
