Background
Overview
Crucial for understanding the separation of powers, accountability of the executive, and the role of the Supreme Court as the guardian of the Constitution and fundamental rights, particularly in cases involving citizens' welfare abroad.
The Indian Constitution establishes a system of checks and balances, empowering the judiciary, particularly the Supreme Court, to review the actions of the executive and legislature. This power, known as judicial review, ensures that government bodies act within their constitutional and legal mandates and uphold the fundamental rights of citizens.
