This paper examines the needfor judicial review in the Indian democratic system and its role in safeguarding the Constitution andprotecting the rights of citizens from arbitrary and capricious authorities. Suppose we see today’s scenario of apex courts in that case, they are just delaying crucial matters of the country which are against our constitutional morality, ethics and principles by not using their eminent power to review the unconstitutional laws brought up by the legislature and executive. The courts had in the past done enough worst interpretation by not performing judicial review when there is a need for judicial review by courts.
