The Supreme Court's Judicial Review: Kicking Out the Umpire

Imagine you're at a high-stakes cricket match between India and Australia. The umpire's decision goes against India, and the team is all out. Now, if the umpire was corrupt or biased, you'd want an independent body to review the decision and possibly overturn it, nahi? Similarly, in Administrative Law, the Supreme Court acts as an appellate authority, reviewing the actions of the government and its agencies. The Court can declare a law or government action unconstitutional, effectively "kicking out the umpire" and restoring the original position. This power is known as judicial review. It's like a superpower that ensures the government doesn't get away with unfair or unjust actions, keeping the system in check.
