These are limitations upon all the powers of the Government, legislative as well as executive. Supreme Court can restrict the Parliament through its power of Judicial Review. Judicial Review is the process by which the Judiciary can carry out three types of actions. It reviews the rules and laws of the executive and legislature for the cases that appear before it. It validates these rules and laws in the perspective of constitutional provisions. It rejects the law, or any part of it, that it finds to be not in agreement with the constitutional provisions.
