Question:
Judiciary in India enjoys the power of Judicial Review on the principle of "procedure established by law" which means:

Options

(1) Judges in India can declare a law invalid simply because in their opinion the law is not due
(2) Judges in India can question the validity of undue law even if it is within limits of the constitution
(3) Judges in India cannot question the validity of law, provided it is within the limits of the constitution
(4) None of the above
Answer: (3) Judges in India cannot question the validity of law, provided it is within the limits of the constitution

Explanation:
Article 21 of the Indian Constitution uses the phrase "procedure established by law" (borrowed from the Japanese Constitution), unlike the US Constitution which uses "due process of law." This means Indian courts can review whether a law follows the correct constitutional procedure, but cannot strike down a law merely because it is unreasonable or unjust — as long as it is within constitutional limits.
