Tone of the article
by Technor on Jan 11, 2007 06:31 PM

I am not very clear on what the tone of the article is. Does the respected author mean that such a power to the Supreme court is not good? The words such as "Unaccountable" in respect of the supreme court are strange to digest. While it is true that there is a lot of activism by the Supreme court, the court has set excellent examples. And in a situation where the law and order of the country is deteorating, the Supreme Court is trying its best to better things.
While the author is correct that the Supreme Court can make judgements that are not in the best interests of the nation at times on the notion that they interfer with the fundamental rights of the country, there have been no examples (correct me if I am wrong) where the Supreme Court has taken a decision without proper reason and rationale. I am personally happy to see mor epower with the court rather than see the power in the parliament which is increasingly using the power for self gain and not for public merit.
