Bangladesh Constitution and Check and balance

According to the supreme law of the Republic, the law declared by the Appellate Division shall be binding on the High Court Division and the law declared by either division of the Supreme Court shall be binding on all courts subordinate to it (Article 111 of the Constitution).
However, the supreme law of the Republic reminds silent on the binding effect of the judicial review on the parliament. Here is another principle on which our constitution is built, 'the principle of check and balance. This allows the three branches of the government to be isolated from each other so that no branch can arbitrarily use its power over all the functions of the other branch.
