Question

 Re-read the list of Fundamental Rights provided in chapter 1. How do you think the Right to

Constitutional Remedies connects to the idea of judicial review?

Answer 1

The Right to Constitutional Remedies allows an Indian citizen to move the court if he feels that any of his

or her Fundamental Rights has been violated by the State. As thefinal interpreter of the Constitution, the

judiciary has the power to review or even strike down any particular law passed by the Parliament if it

believes that this law violates the basic structure of the constitution, which is called judicial review. In this

way we find that the Right to Constitutional Remedies given in the Fundamental Rights is directly

connected and supported by the idea of judicial review.
