The two points of criticism against judicial review are:
1. The power of judicial review is against the principle of separation of powers: In a democracy, keeping a balance among the three organs-legislature, executive, and judiciary, stress has been laid on the principle of separation of power. The power of judicial revision provides the judiciary the opportunity to intervene in the functioning of legislature and executive, and thus it ignores the law of separation of powers.
2. Obstacle in the path of progress: In a democratic administration, the final power vests in the hands of the people. The parliament represents the power of the public. The power of judicial review, at many times, declares the law passed by the parliament, in the public interest, unconstitutional, and this proves to be an obstacle in the public welfare work intended by the Parliament for the benefit of the people.
