Which best explains the relationship between the judiciary and social justice?

Correct answer: It can help protect rights, ensure equality, and support weaker sections

Direct answer: A is correct. Social justice means that every person, including disadvantaged and weaker sections, should receive equal protection, fair treatment, and access to remedies. The judiciary applies the Constitution and laws to examine whether rights have been violated. If a government action, discrimination, or unfair treatment harms people, a court may provide relief or order the authority to follow the law. Public Interest Litigation can sometimes allow a court to consider an issue affecting a wider group, especially when affected people cannot easily approach the court themselves. This does not mean that courts solve every social problem or replace elected governments. Option A is correct because it describes the judiciary's rights-protecting and equality-supporting role. B is wrong because courts are public constitutional institutions, not private bodies for rich people. C is wrong because courts can hear cases involving discrimination, rights, and public welfare. D is wrong because protecting constitutional rights is a central purpose of judicial review. Memory cue: social justice means equal protection under law, not special privilege for the powerful.
