Answer
The Supreme Court has been equipped with the power of judicial review to check the arbitrary power of the executive. It can review a Central or State law to establish its legality or otherwise. If the Parliament passes any law that is against the Constitution, the Supreme Court can declare that law as unconstitutional. However, it does not step in unless a person aggrieved by such laws calls the Court for redress.
