We live in an age when the whole country looks to the judiciary to keep the legislative and the executive branches in check. Should we allow political parties to win judges over to their side?
I believed that getting rid of secret ballots ended the menace of money-fuelled Rajya Sabha elections. But this week’s polls show that we overestimated the dignity of some of our legislators.
I’m glad the Chandigarh farce was called out. I’m pleased too that the SC went back to constitutional first principles in electoral bonds case. But don’t expect it to act as a force against the govt.
