Ok guys, if acceptable to all, why not start with the topic:
"Is Judicial encroachment in the Executive arena justified?"
Well, a gud choice for a topic since its new and hence quite relevant.
Let me first add another ground rule, the first one to start the discussion shud introduce the topic.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello puys,
the legislature, the executive and the judiciary are known as the three pillars of the India democracy ( though Media is sometimes referred as the fourth pillar). They have been designed their specific roles by the Indian Constitution. Article 122 and 212 make absolutely clear the defined spheres of the judiciary and the legislature respectively.
However, lately there have been many incidents latest being the sealing issue in Delhi,where in the Judiciary has actively participated and played a crucial role in matters that are supposedly not under its preview.It would have been great if all three of them would have been working perfectly. However, in India the former two have been highly corrupt, inefficient and also unapproachable (lack of handling grievances). The Judiciary on the other hand has been an independent body from the very beginning. Although judges too are known to be corrupt, Judiciary still stands out amongst the three.
Ordinary citizens have little hope in the legislature and executive and judiciary seems to be their only hope. In the past, the Supreme Court successfully handled the many issues like that of CNG buses in Delhi. I dont think that the executive could have done a better job. Those of us from Delhi would certainly agree with that.
So, what could be wrong with the Judiciary stepping in. Well, the legislature is directly elected by the people and can be voted out but the judiciary is not elected by the people. But when elected representatives have abdicated their responsibilities and some else is doing the job effectively, should its wings be clipped or not?? When you have to choose between the devil and the deep sea, what do you do?
