SUPREME COURT OF INDIA IS RUNNING THE COUNTRY!!
Recent article in TIME magazine has brought in focus this matter.Yes, there is every reason to believe that SUPREME court of INDIA is running the country.And no, it is not by choice but by default.When the elected Representatives that includes all politicians of this great country forget their duty and keep personal and electoral gains above the interest of common man; someone has to pitch in and reassure the average INDIAN .The SUPREME COURT OF INDIA and the other judicial machinery has actively pitched in to undo wrongdoings of other two pillars of INDIAN democracy - bureaucracy and elected representatives.
On more than few occasions, supreme court overruled the decisions taken by bureaucracy and elected representatives, citing interest of common man at large!
These are a few examples to quote a few :
1) Delhi high court whipped (verbally) the police investigating JESSICA LAL murder case and directed the police to reopen the case and do fresh and sincere investigation into the case to nail the culprit.
2) SUPREME COURT , giving judgement, ordered the DELHI MUNICIPAL CORPORATION to seal all illegal residential and commercial buildings an DELHI. This was done in larger public interest when the official machinery and the elected representative in DELHI were going out of the way to protect these illegal structures.
3) Increase in reservation quota in educational institutes and - both government and private ; and job reservations in private sector. Had it not been the order passed by supreme court in which it ordered the government to justify increase in reservations , government , in all probabilities would have passed the law by now.
There are many such examples which justify the question raised by TIME magazine.
At this point I just wish to ask you all : Imagine , just imagine what would have happened to this great country if judiciary wouldn't have been active? The fallout have been unthinkable.
Thanks to the foresight of our forefathers who created a strong judiciary system in INDIA!!!!!
