Courts in India should stick to law. Getting into governance is an overreach. It is out of area of its expertise and will diminish its credibility. Simultaneously we must be careful of listening to those who have advocated a “committed judiciary” in the past. Their current criticism of judiciary rings hollow.
We can keep up the pretense, under the live threat of power of contempt, that this is indeed the 3rd pillar of our democracy as defined in our constitution. Or we can acknowledge that only a broken stump of the vaunted pillar remains. The institution is now in “harmony” with the executive, as hoped for by its previous head.
In country where under the name of democracy we created a culture of not accepting even a SC rulings gracefully. There is a bunch a people who would like to dictate to the SC. They want an independent judiciary that will follow their line of thinking and rule accordingly. With the current dispensation the capacity to manipulate is diminishing in all walks of life a situation not liked by those who thrived on the connections.
In a perfect democracy, the NYAYDEVATA should be blind and will still be respected, but in our developing democracy the judiciary is often compelled to safe guard its own respect, since the expected respect is missing for both accepting and implementing the judgements. The politicians who have rules this country since 1947 are for their vested interests and short term political gains responsible for such state of affairs and equally responsible are WE the VOTERS.
A policy decision is not under the ambit of constitution nor a rule law.
Courts are there to uphold and rule letter of the law.
Instead it is going into governance by forcefully exerting unwarranted influence which is contempt of parliamentary process and insult to democracy.
If SC is so much interested in governance then it should get courts across nation under order, release prisoners who can’t post bail lying in there for many years, make judge selection process transparent, bring judiciary under RTI, clear backlogs and rescind the unconstitutional collegium system.
Yet still want to govern then register as a candidate and ask for vote. No back channel governance model.
