The law, whether it is intra vires, or ultra vires is always decided by the judiciary in exercise of its judicial power, constitutional authority and jurisdiction. It is also popularly known as "judicial review of legislative competence" under the Constitutional and Administrative Law.

The Parliament, or the State legislature has Constitutional authority to legislate the law on any particular subject, so as to achieve its object. Obviously, the law that is legislated and enacted by the legislature has to be tested on the touch-stone of reasonableness and fairness. If, the statute is unjust, unfair, unreasonable, arbitrary and sanctions "unguided, unbridled, and sweeping power, authority and jurisdiction that shocks the constitutional conscious", the law is often declared "ultra vires" the Constitutional provisions.

This quote emphasizes the distinction between the roles of legislatures and judges in the legal system. Legislatures create general laws that apply broadly to society, while judges interpret and apply those laws to specific cases, like a retail store selling goods to individuals. It underscores the idea that judges should not create new laws, but rather interpret and apply existing laws.
