Underlining that none of the three organs of the State can claim to be supreme as only the Constitution is paramount, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Wednesday said some court verdicts gave a distinct impression of the judiciary’s overreach. He said the legislature, the executive and the judiciary are bound to work within their respective domains as defined in the Constitution.
Addressing the 80th All India Presiding Officers’ Conference on “Harmonious Coordination between Legislature, Executive and Judiciary – Key to Vibrant Democracy”, Naidu said harmony lies in each organ doing its job without interfering with that of the others. This warrants a spirit of mutual respect, responsibility and restraint. Unfortunately, there have been several instances of crossing the boundaries, he said.
Naidu said there have been quite a few judicial pronouncements that gave a distinct impression of an overreach.
