Decisions of Election Commission, UPSC, and CAG are immune from judicial review by courts.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer: False

No constitutional body is immune from judicial review. Supreme Court/High Courts can examine: (a) Procedural fairness (natural justice), (b) Jurisdictional errors, (c) Violation of fundamental rights, (d) Arbitrariness/unreasonableness. However, courts show deference to technical/expert decisions (e.g., EC's poll schedule, UPSC's exam standards) unless manifestly illegal. Balances institutional autonomy with constitutional accountability.
