C Correct answer
Explanation

Indian judicial review follows the 'procedure established by law' doctrine (Article 21), meaning laws must follow proper legal procedures but can be unjust if the procedure is correct. The American 'due process of law' doctrine allows courts to examine the fairness and justice of the law itself. The 'rule of law' concept is broader. India explicitly rejected the due process model in the Constituent Assembly debates to avoid judicial overreach.
