Judiciary can clip wings of Legislature and Government

Judiciary can ‘clip the wings’ of other organs of governance if they cross the limits; “all three organs executive, legislature and judiciary should work in accordance with constitutional provisions and if any one acts beyond its jurisdiction, judiciary can clip its wings” said Chief Justice of India Justice R C Lahoti at a seminar on ‘speedy and affordable justice and cooperation between judiciary and executive’ at Bhopal; he further stressed that it is the duty of the judiciary to ensure that laws framed by legislature were in conformity with the provision of the constitution and the executive should also avoid excesses while implementing the laws.

Strongly favouring coordination between judiciary and the executive Justice reiterated the three organs should carry out their responsibilities in a dignified manner and strengthen each other for the welfare of all sections of the society.

This is in continuation of 12 August 05 Supreme Court judgement where the court abolished Government quota and gave a free hand to unaided private professional colleges (Medical and Engineering) to decide the admission procedure and fee structure. The long CET imbroglio put the parents in confusion to pursue professional courses for their wards. It is the government that put hurdles to the meritorious students who pursue professional courses; instead of bringing encouraging policies by the Government; it is the Government and the private College managements that made the quota and fee structure a biggest issue resulting in the said Supreme Court judgement banning state quota in private unaided colleges.

All Members of Parliament including the Speaker of the Lokasabha Sri Somnath Chatterjee criticized the Supreme Court judgement and some MPs’demanded a constitutional amendment “for the sake of social justice”. In response to the criticism; in an unprecedented outburst Supreme Court Chief Justice RC Lahoti asked the Government to “wind up” the court if it apposed a judgement without understanding it “If this is the attitude of a Government to go after a judgement without understanding it, then wind up the court and do what ever you want” further he said “We are not for confrontation with the Government .We have been repeatedly telling the Government in our 11 judge, 5 judge and the latest 7 judge bench judgements on enacting proper legislation to govern education”. In spite of such clear cut judgements by Supreme Court the Speaker Somnath Chatterjee said “we are not give up our right to make laws”; is it not ridicules?When such is the case why the politicians made criticism against Supreme Court?

1. In order to cover the fiasco of the Government; politicians showed their displeasure in the name of social justice and make political mileage out of it.
2. In order to prevail over the vote bank, politicians shed their integrit
3. These politicians think they can fool people; they want power and wanted to rule people, they have taken power from the same people but they should know that they cannot fool people for ever.
