CONSTITUTION CANNOT BE THE FINAL SAY. IT IS ONLY A BIG VOLUMINOUS MORAL SCIENCE BOOK, INTERPRETABLE IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS. IT IS CERTAINLY REQUIRED,IT GUIDES US, PREVENT AS YOU SAY 'CHAOS'TO SOME GREAT EXTENT. BUT IT BECOMES AN 'INCOMPETENT' BUNDLE OF PAPER WRITTEN 70 YEARS BACK WHEN THE WISE GUYS COULD NOT FORSEE THE TECHTONIC AND SWEEPING CHANGES IN SOCIETY AND NEWER ASPIRATIONS AND FACE HIGHLY COMPLICATED SITUATIONS. IT CAN AT DEAL WITH RIPPLES AND WAVES, BUT CANNOT DEAL WITH THE DEPTHS BELOW. IF IT WAS A 'WELL FUNCTIONING POLITY' DESPITE 'FLAWS AND SHORTCOMINGS'BECAUSE OF THE ACCOMODATIVE,COMPROMISING,NON-FANATIC MINDED HINDU MAJORITY WHICH WAS ALWAYS TREATED AS A SECOND CLASS CITIZEN. SO CJIji SHED THE HALO ROUND YOUR HEAD AND DO NOT OVER-REACH IN GRABBING POWER AND MESS UP THINGS. LEAVE 'AYODHA' TO THE GONERNMENT. YOU ARE TOO PUNY TO JUDGE ON SUCH AN IMMENSE AN ISSUE. LET
Praad's speech is hypocritical. While BJP was in opposition, they wanted SC to adjudicate on every issue of governance. For example, the coal allocations without auction is followed worldwide and when UPA did this, BJP wanted the SC to overturn this. Now Prasad finds it inconvenient to have the judiciary look into Rafale , CBI and such matters and he raises a howl of protest in front of the CJI and President.

Coal allocation is without auction worldwide because there is no corruption involved there. So please do not compare with India. Judiciary is nothing but just some selected people.They are not gods and are prone to prejudice like any normal human being. They dont need to face the consequences for any of their decisions as seen in the sabarimala issue. But the eecutive is an elected body by the people. Not selected. They are answerable to the people for the next elections. So clearly governance should come under the executive. The judiciary should limit themselves to criminal and civil cases, already which are pending in millions.
Governance is indeed executive domain, but as long as it is administered within the boundaries set by the Constitution. When the executive oversteps its jurisdiction, judiciary, like an umpire, steps in to tell executive that it has crossed the Lakshman Rekha. Of late, the managers of executive, many of whom have tasted power only now, are trying to exercise unbridled power. When such issues are referred to judiciary, these (executive) people raise hue and cry saying that their (executive) powers have been usurped by the judiciary. Since judiciary has, by and large, performed its duties fairly satisfactorily, it is the executive which has to introspect where it has gone wrong and effect mid-course correction.
