| New Delhi, Aug 1: Here's a staunch opponent of judicial activism from within the judiciary itself. Supreme Court's Justice Markandey Katju seldom misses an opportunity to slam courts for stepping into the domain of the executive and legislature.
Referring to a case, he asked what judges thought of themselves. Are they kings who award compensation, direct the running of sick mills and set up monitoring committees as if judicial functions were being "outsourced", he asked.
Then again, on another day, he said the way judicial activism was increasing, the next halt would be to "lock the government and the parliament" and run the entire affairs of the country. He said even judges of the Supreme Court must realise they have a limit to their role. (IANS) |
