Why in news
The Supreme Court has upheld “the power, or rather the duty” of the judiciary to direct the government to conduct a “performance audit” of its statutory laws to assess their actual impact on the ground

Demonstrable judicial data or other substantial evidence must prove that the laws have failed to achieve their intended benefits
