Re: [IAC#RG] Are judges becoming too powerful ?

I dont think judiciary by taking some strong decision is doing any wrong. Today when parliament doesnt run not only bcoz there are many opposition rather govt self doesnt want it to run, discuss budget in detail, pass important bill rather taking the help of ordinance to show it more people friendly. 

Yes there are corruption also in judiciary but when they are taking some good step we should appreciate it.

Today before every election we discuss criminalisation of politics and politicisation of criminals. Now its a time to disconnect the word criminal with politics with the help guide of Court and we should support it.

Its a time to clean a hazzy picture a give it a new look. Today when in every road there is atleast an activist we should take a best opportunity of it. The biggest hurdle is the corruption in activist before anything.

                                    Are judges becoming too powerful  ?

In recent times, it appears that the country is being run by judiciary.  There are many occasions when one may  think that the judiciary  is commenting and passing judgements on matters , which should really form part of governance  and  where there is  no issue of law involved.  

Even if there are potholes on the road , people take the issue to court and the judges entertain such cases and then make strong observations about the poor  quality of governance.  In the process, reluctantly or otherwise, the  judiciary  is  causing great damage to the reputation of the government and  reducing the esteem of the persons holding high and responsible position such as Prime Minister,  in the eyes of the citizens. 

In our country where  the credibility  of ministers, politicians and bureaucrats have become so low, many people tend to support judiciary  without questioning the appropriateness of the role of judiciary in  interfering in the matters of governance , when it makes highly adverse comments.

 We seem to be redefining  the role of judiciary in India.  The question is whether all  the judges are always honest  and credible unlike some  politicians and bureaucrats.  The sad fact is that many judges themselves have been accused of dishonest practices and  corruption in recent times.   Is it right  to put so much of faith on the judiciary in such conditions  and is it not a calculated risk ?

Since  citizens  feel  helpless  in the light of  the  inefficiency and corruption of the ministers and government machinery and  are  desperately looking for solution, judiciary  appears to be stepping   into  the vacuum.
