Authors

Abstract

In a constitutional democracy, power is divided so that the legislature makes the laws, the executive authority enforces and carries them out, and the judiciary operates independently. No one branch can control all power in a democratic system. This is referred as the Separation of Powers. Among the foundational objective of our polity, the founding fathers accorded the highest place to Justice. The Preamble to the constitution spoke of to resolve to secure justice social, economic, and political to all its citizens. It is natural that the people turn to judiciary as the bastion of hope forgetting protection against injustice. The judiciary is referred to as the custodian of the constitution and protector of fundamental rights. It is the supreme authority responsible to punish the violators of fundamental rights and civil liberties. In this regard, it also has the power to review the decisions of the executive as mandated by Article 13. Further, under Article 142, it can pass any order for doing complete justice.

This activism has been widely used during the 21st century era. It was mainly to direct the government towards a more citizen-centric path. However, some experts call it an act of judicial governance. In this paper, the researcher has described the pros and cons of judicial governance. Further, some suggestions has also been provided to direct the future course of action.
