Don;'t overstep limits, PM tells judiciary
by A Venkatesh Rasai on Dec 13, 2007 03:20 PM   Permalink

PM's statement, to say the least, is most unfortunate. It is because of the failures of both the Legislatures and the Executives, at the Centre and in the States, that the Courts, again at the State and the Central level, have to intervene. The people of India will always remember the innumerable occasions when the Courts' intervention led to the people's good which is what, ultimately, is aimed at by all. If only the Executives and the Legislatures were performing their assigned duties, responsibly and impartially, there would be no need for the Courts to intervene. After all, it would considerably minimise their work-load if they have not to take upon the onerous tasks of actings as 'umpires' on affairs with which they are not concerned but are forced by circumstances to be concerned. I do hope the readers would agree.
