The recent judgement only reinforces the profound belef of all citizens that the 3 pillars of democracy act in a manner not detrimental to our basic rights. Any legislation will affect the fundamental rights of one or other section of the population.As such the powers of the legislature and judiciary must balance the pros and cons and decide what serves best the interests of the nation and its people. The judgement is a reinforcement of the checks and balance envisaged by the founding fathers and there is in my view no cause for any side to believe that they have more powers than the other.
