Q. The concept of Judicial Review in the Constitution of India is borrowed from which of the following?
Answer: USA
Notes: The concept of judicial review, which gives the judiciary the power to review the constitutionality of legislative and executive acts, is borrowed in the Indian Constitution from the United States. Article 13 and Article 32 specifically provide for judicial review and are inspired by the 1803 landmark case of Marbury v. Madison in the US Supreme Court. This laid down judicial review allowing American courts to examine the constitutional validity of acts by the legislature and executive. Thus, the power of courts to judicially review laws and actions to check their alignment with the Constitution comes from legal principles established in the American constitutional system.
