What does the possibility of judicial review of a government policy show in democracy?

Correct answer: Policy can be tested against the Constitution and the law

Direct answer: C is correct. Judicial review means that a competent court can examine whether a government action or policy is consistent with the Constitution and applicable law. This expresses the rule of law: elected governments have authority, but that authority is limited by constitutional rules and legal rights. Judicial review does not mean that courts normally replace the political executive and design every policy. A is wrong because government must obey the Constitution and law. B is wrong because policy choices generally belong to the elected government, while courts check legality and constitutional validity. D is wrong because the Lok Sabha continues to debate, legislate, approve expenditure, and hold the government accountable. Memory cue: government chooses policy, but the Constitution sets the legal boundary.
