C) 2 & 3
D) 1, 3 & 4
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
The supremacy of the Supreme Court as the guardian of the constitution is emphasised by the power of judicial review. The Supreme Court has the power of declaring a law made by the legislature or an executive action as ultra vires (intra vires) or 'null and void' or 'unconstitutional' if it is not in tune with the provisions of the constitution or violative of the fundamental law of the land. This acts as an effective check on both the legislature and the executive as any decision made or action taken whimsically-without regard to the constitution is declared invalid.
