Judicial Review and Democratic Governance: Assessing the Role of the Indian Supreme Court

Abstract This paper delves into the intricate relationship between judicial review and democratic governance, with a specific focus on the role of the Indian Supreme Court. Judicial review, as a foundational concept in constitutional democracies, serves as a crucial mechanism for ensuring governmental accountability, upholding the rule of law, and safeguarding fundamental rights. In the context of India, a vibrant and pluralistic democracy, the Supreme Court's authority to scrutinize governmental actions vis-à-vis constitutional principles holds profound significance.
Through a comprehensive analysis of landmark judgments, constitutional provisions, scholarly literature, and comparative perspectives, this study seeks to unravel the multifaceted dynamics inherent in the relationship between judicial review and democratic governance in the Indian context. The paper examines the historical evolution of judicial review in India, tracing its origins from the Constitution and subsequent judicial interpretations.
Key principles underpinning the exercise of judicial review, including the doctrine of basic structure, separation of powers, and protection of fundamental rights, are scrutinized to understand their implications for democratic governance. Landmark judgments of the Indian Supreme Court, such as Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala (1973), Indira Nehru Gandhi v. Raj Narain (1975), and S.R. Bommai v. Union of India (1994), are analysed to elucidate the Court's role in shaping the constitutional ethos of the nation.
However, the paper also engages with critiques of judicial review, including concerns about judicial activism, accountability, and enforceability of court decisions. By critically examining these challenges and exploring potential avenues for reform, this study aims to offer insights into enhancing the efficacy of judicial review as a tool for democratic governance in India.
