All organs of democracy not functioning

It's the pathetic way of carrying out their function by legislature and executive, which made the public to seek solace from the Judiciary. This gave power to Judiciary and is now termed as 'Judicial activism'. Most of the PILs are applied with genuine intent and to seek the true justice. It holds good for even the decisions taken by courts. Hence, with the backing of public SC is giving orders. But it should not outreach its powers and take up law making and execution of it in its hand. Instead it should try to rejuvenate the legislature and executive to function as per law else take them into swords. Finally, if all three branches dont act properly within their spheres then our (pseudo)democracy is going to fall.

100% right. Judiciary is still in british age. My lord!! Every pillar of the democracy is supposed to be for the citizen, instead they behave like every citizen works for them.
