A. Reviewing any constitutional amendment passed by Parliament
B. Reviewing any judgment or order passed by it for any apparent error✓ Correct Answer
C. Reviewing executive actions of the Union Cabinet
D. Reviewing foreign policy agreements

💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 137 of the Constitution explicitly grants the Supreme Court of India the power to review any judgment or order pronounced by it to correct any patent error or miscarriage of justice. Other functions such as evaluating constitutional amendments or executive policies fall under different judicial review doctrines rather than this specific correctional jurisdiction. Review petitions must generally be filed within thirty days of the judgment.
