  1. Judicial review is the ability of the judiciary, notably the Supreme Court and High Courts, to analyze the constitutionality of laws, actions, or decisions made by the legislative and executive arms of government.
  2. If legislation or conduct is proven to contravene the Constitution, the courts can declare it void or unconstitutional.
  3. This ensures that all laws and government acts are consistent with the values and provisions of the Constitution, protecting individuals' rights and upholding the rule of law.
