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

Dear Sir, 

You stated Judiciary is stepping into the vacuum and it also is becoming active where no issues of Law are involved.

Are you feeling bad that corrupt/plunderers of nations wealth/ crony capitalists/ dynastic nincompoops/yes men/ sarkari intellectuals/ manipulator s of the simple people/  so called leaders elected by a minority of people ARE being asked to OWN UP to their misdeeds.

People just because they have impressive attributes and capacity to manipulate and sit in high positions cannot be called leaders.

Leaders will be only known by the results they produce for the common good in general and poor/ marginalized in particular.

Further ' Nyaya' and ' Dharma' being inseparable, why 'Nyayadhish' ie the ' Judge' cannot pronounce his judgement on the people in high posts if they are wrong /corrupt/anti national/anti poor and Aamaadmi.

Will it be okay if some entity other than Judiciary ( may be in the guise of Robinhoods )run the affairs of the nation unchallenged, tinker with social order/ norms. Won' t absolute power corrupt them also absolutely.

At least Judiciary being Law can be Expected to be NOT to become a Law unto themselves.

By the way, if a challenge is perceived by you, you also must have some solution , which if not perfect, will at least start a debate.

My solution , The Judiciary shall be empowered to be a Watch dog to monitor FINALLY whether all checks and balances involved in the running of a Nation are effectively working and take a prompt action if a Conscientious Citizen approaches them with a PIL.

The alternate could be to have a Poodle faking Toothless pseudo intellectual pouring over all complaints against Govt and PLEAD with the Powers to be to mend their wayward ways with folded hands ( if not with his tail between his legs)

The views are entirely mine and no reference has been made to IAC.

                                    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.
