Explanation
The power of judicial review is embedded in Articles 13, 32, and 226 of the Indian Constitution. Under these articles, if any law passed by the legislature is inconsistent with the Constitution, the courts (Supreme Court and High Courts) can declare it unconstitutional and void. For example, the Supreme Court used this power to strike down the 99th Constitutional Amendment (National Judicial Appointments Commission Act).
