Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study the different provisions of constitution of India which deals with Judicial review. Under the constitution of India, the scope of judicial review has been extremely widened. Judicial review in India is based on the assumption that the constitution is the supreme law of the land and all the governmental organs, which owe their origin to the constitution and derive their powers from its provisions, must function within the framework of the constitution. Unlike the U.S.A., the constitution of India has not made express provision for judicial review. The scope of judicial review is present in several articles of the constitution, such as Article 13, 32, 141, 226 and 227. Thus, the doctrine of judicial review is firmly rooted in India and in this sense it is on a more solid footing than it is in America.
