Answer
Judicial Review may be defined as the power of the Supreme Court to examine the laws passed by the Legislature and the orders issued by the Executive officials to find whether or not they are permitted by the Constitution. If the Court finds that a law or an order of the Executive does something that is forbidden by the Constitution, it declares them null and void.
