The active and decisive intervention of the Bombay High Court in 'Adarsh society' scam will not only direct the course of investigation to its logical destination but will also restore the confidence of people in the 'rule of law'.It is heartening to note that Higher judiciary despite a number of its own institutional problems has kept on discharging its responsibilities as the 'guardian' of the Constitution reasonably well.The intellectual 'critique' of judicial activism basking in the glory of 'Doctrine of balance of power' is loosing its edge given the consistently deteriorating probity in public life which has almost compelled our esteemed judges to play a more active role in governance.From 2-G spectrum to CWG scam or frequent admonitions to the government on an ensemble of issues including CAG to CVC, the excercise of judicial vigilantism has been hailed by the people.We hope that active judicial intervention will slowly impart the much needed operational wherewithal to the state to prevent as well as punish injuries caused to it and its people by anti-national elements.

ReplyDeleteWhat is expected of JPC on 2G, Adarsh and CWG scams. Can JPC help in discharging responsibilities of legislative in more efficient manner and reduce burden on judiciary?
Thanks
