Swarnika Tirkey | Hiten Joshi | Rahul Sharma ^[12]

Abstract: Certainly, all those who have framed the Written Constitutions contemplate them as forming the fundamental and paramount law of the nation and consequently the theory of every such government must be that an act of the legislature repugnant to the constitution is void. The rule of law should not be modified by excessive Parliamentary powers. All those exercising public power, have to be accountable for their actions. They are bound to work within the democratic provision of the Constitution. The guiding light for such actions is the system of judicial review. Keeping in the light of the given statement we attempt to trace the origin and development of the concept of Judicial Review; by critically examining the need and significance of Judicial Review in a legal system with a Written Constitution emphasizing the Indian scenario.
