Way Forward

♤ There is a very fine line between Judicial Activism and Judicial Overreach. It would be would be in the best interest of our country if judges understand this and restrain themselves from crossing this line too often.

♤ The judiciary cannot rule the nation by legislating as well as executing through its judgments. It’s simply not meant to do that. It can rightly be argued that a legitimate judicial intervention is the one which clearly falls within the permissible scope of judicial review.

♤ Purely political questions and policy matters not involving decision of a core legal issue should therefore remain outside the domain of judiciary.
