Perspective : Judiciary Versus Legislature | 06 December, 2022

In this episode of the Perspective Prog. Based on 'Judiciary Versus Legislature'. Can the Judiciary overrule the will of the people that is represented in Parliament?. That’s the question Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar has posed amid the ongoing row over the process of appointment of judges. In a pointed response to the Supreme Court’s 2015 verdict that struck down the National Judicial Appointments Commission Act, the Vice President said it was too serious an issue and the world does not know of any such instance when a law passed by Parliament, that reflects the will of the people, was undone by the Supreme Court. Ringing in a note of caution, the Vice President underlined that the judiciary cannot become the legislature or executive, by denying or diminishing their powers, as any incursion by one organ into the domain of the other will upset the apple cart of governance. The Vice President’s comments are a part of the larger debate over the separation of powers of each pillar of democracy – the Executive, Legislature and the Judiciary.
