Abstract

Constitutionally controlled governance ensures that governmental power is exercised within the framework of the Constitution, balancing authority and accountability. By articulating the roles of multiple institutions, the delegation of powers, and checks and balances, the Constitution of India offers an effective foundation for governance. With an emphasis on the distinctive elements of the Indian Constitution, especially judicial review, federalism, directive principles of state policy, and fundamental rights, this analytical research explores the essentials of constitutionally managed governance. The paper examines how these principles operate in practice to maintain a democratic structure, promote social justice, and prevent the misuse of power. Special attention is given to landmark judgments that have shaped governance in India and the challenges posed by evolving socio-political dynamics. The study concludes by highlighting the importance of constitutional adherence in fostering equitable and efficient governance in India.
