Explanation

Judicial review means the Supreme Court can examine the constitutionality of laws and executive actions. If any law or order violates the Constitution, the Court can declare it void. This power is not about reviewing its own judgments (that's done through review petitions) or supervising subordinate courts (that's appellate jurisdiction), but about being the final interpreter of constitutional validity.
