Consider the following statements: 1. The power of Judicial review of the Supreme Court in India is narrower than that of the Supreme Court in the United States. 2. The American constitution provides for procedure established by law against that of due process of law provided by the Indian constitution. Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?

Correct Answer:

A. 1 only

Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct: The Indian Supreme Court generally follows 'Procedure Established by Law', which has a narrower scope than the American 'Due Process of Law'. While the Indian scope has expanded, it is traditionally considered narrower. Statement 2 is incorrect: It reverses the concepts. The American Constitution provides for 'Due Process of Law,' while the Indian Constitution (Article 21) explicitly mentions 'Procedure Established by Law'.
