Taking the law into Their Hands
J.B. D’Souza
J.B.
D’Souza was a distinguished bureaucrat and human rights activist. In “Taking the Law into their Hands”, the
author traces the history of judicial activism.
For the last two decades, the Indian courts have overcome their
shyness. They are showing their
assertiveness. The courts are working
with punching ethics equity and justice.
They are dragging politicians to trial. It is a positive symptom. Judicial activism is an international
phenomenon. The U.S. American Supreme
Court has banned racial bigotry.
The
Judicial thrust has become inevitable due to the indifferent attitude of the
corrupt officials, police and elected representatives. Today, judiciary can take up cases su motto
even if no complaint is lodged.
Ofcourse, it may have some negative implications. It may result in too many judicial
investigations. Courts might get flooded
with litigations. Their decisions may
lead to doubtful legality. Courts may
even yield to temptations.
