Misconception Busting: Administrative Law - Writ Jurisdiction vs. Judicial Review

Bhai log, I know many of you study from coaching institutes and notes, but some of them spread myths and misconceptions about Administrative Law. One common one is that Writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Indian Constitution is a synonym for Judicial Review. NOPE, friends! Writ jurisdiction refers to the power of High Courts to issue writs to Quash or modify administrative actions, whereas Judicial Review is a broader concept that involves examining the legality and constitutionality of administrative actions. While both are related, they're not the same thing. A good example is the case of Keshavananda Bharati vs. Union of India (1973) where the Supreme Court exercised Judicial Review, but the Writ jurisdiction under Article 226 was not directly involved. So, make sure you differentiate between these two concepts, MH CET Law aspirants!
