Answer

The High Court controls the power of the Legislature and the Executive by its power of Judicial Review. Judicial Review means that the High Court can review a State law to establish its constitutionality. If it finds any law, executive order or any ordinance to be inconsistent with the provisions of the Constitution, it can declare it null and void.
