Union & State Judiciary Of INDIA MCQs Set 8 MCQ Questions & Answers Detailed Explanation

Answer: (a)

Answer: (b)

The principle of separation of powers is the foundation for a democratic state based on the rule of law. The judicial power dispenses justice in disputes between citizens and government and its agencies.

The presence of an independent judiciary in a democratic government distinguishes that system from a totalitarian one.

Answer: (d)

The sovereignty of the Indian parliament is restricted by judicial review. Parliamentary sovereignty (also called parliamentary supremacy or legislative supremacy) is a concept in the constitutional law of some parliamentary democracies. It holds that the legislative body has absolute sovereignty, and is supreme over all other government institutions, including executive or judicial bodies.

The concept also holds that the legislative body may change or repeal any previous legislation, and so that it is not bound by written law (in some cases, even a constitution) or by precedent.

Parliamentary sovereignty may be contrasted with the doctrines of separation of powers, which limits the legislature’s scope often to general law-making, and judicial review, where laws passed by the legislature may be declared invalid in certain circumstances.

It cannot be issued to compel an authority to do something against the statutory provision.
