    1. Review its own judgment
    2. Review the functioning of judiciary in the country
    3. Examine the constitutional validity of the constitution
    4. Examine the judicial amendments
Correct Option: C

The 'Judicial review' function of the Supreme Court means to examine the constitutional validity of laws. Judicial review is the doctrine under which legislative and executive actions are subject to review (and possible invalidation) by the judiciary. A specific court with judicial review power may annul the acts of the state when it finds them incompatible with a higher authority (such as the terms of a written constitution). Judicial review is an example of check and balances in a modern governmental system (where the judiciary checks the other branches of government).
