Overview
Judicial review is a core concept in Indian Polity, demonstrating the judiciary's role as the guardian of the Constitution. Its application to sensitive areas like reservation policies highlights the checks and balances in governance and the judiciary's impact on social justice and fundamental rights.
Judicial review is a fundamental feature of the Indian Constitution, allowing the Supreme Court and High Courts to examine the constitutionality of legislative enactments and executive orders. In the context of reservation policies, judicial review ensures adherence to constitutional principles of equality, social justice, and non-discrimination, often leading to landmark judgments that shape the implementation of affirmative action.
