In the world’s largest democracy, that is India, the third pillar of the constitution the judiciary has time and again come to the rescue of larger public interests, castigating the political establishment and even some of the independent state institutions for failure in the discharge of their duties in keeping with the spirit of ‘maximum benefits for the maximum number’.
In that sense, the judiciary in India has played an exemplary role not only in terms of holding up a mirror before the establishment, but actually forcing the establishment and state institutions to undertake necessary measures in course correction.
