In which situation can judiciary put a constitutional check on executive?

Correct answer: When an executive decision violates the Constitution or fundamental rights

The correct answer is A: the judiciary can check the executive when an executive action violates the Constitution or a fundamental right. The Constitution is the highest legal authority, so every government department and executive authority must act within its limits. Through judicial review, a court examines whether an order, policy, or action is legally valid. If it conflicts with constitutional provisions or protected rights, the court may declare it invalid and may provide an appropriate remedy; in some situations, it may also stay its operation while the case is considered. First identify the action, then compare it with the Constitution and rights, and finally see whether the court has a legal basis to intervene. Option A is correct because it gives a constitutional ground for review. Option B is wrong because popularity cannot make an unconstitutional action valid. Option C is wrong because the closeness of elections is not itself a legal violation. Option D is wrong because media discussion is not a constitutional test. Memory cue: judicial review asks, “Does government action obey the Constitution?”
