ABSTRACT

The essence of judicial review in India is the rule of law. The control over the acts of the legislative, executive, and judicial bodies is the competence of the courts. It is a great weapon in the hands of the judiciary to declare unconstitutional and unenforceable any law or order which violates the fundamental laws of the state. This article examines various theories formulated by the Supreme Court based on jurisprudence, such as the bifurcation theory, the solar eclipse theory, and the future release theory. Administrative action. This paper further discusses the state of judicial review in the US and UK. Judicial review resulted largely from the landmark case Madison. v. Marbury1. However, Lord Coke's original decision Dr. Bonham v. Cambridge University established the first domain of judicial review in England in 16102. This article discusses how the US Constitution does not explicitly provide powers of judicial review, but Articles 3 and 6 of the US Constitution refer to the concept. As the British Empire does not have a written constitution, this article also looks at the principle of "parliamentary sovereignty" that prevails in constitutional democracy.

Keywords: Judicial review, Comparative Analysis, India, USA.
