We live in interconnected world and the presence of good neighbours is need of hours.
The basic structure doctrine was upheld and created by Supreme Court in remarkable Keshavananda Bharati Case, 1973 to protect the critical features of our constitution.
Core principles of Constitution:
Federalism -- Democracy -- Judicial Review
Fundamental rights -- Secularism
Cooperative Federalism -- Socialism and Distributive Justice
However, the basic structure was intended to protect against majoritarian impulses but it is being caused by people & other organs of the government as means of Judicial overreach.
other organs of the government as means of Judicial overreach.
Instances of Judicial overreach:
* Sabarimala case: Directions on women right to enter Temple. Infringing into religious matters.
* MC Mehta case: Taking split action in environmental matters.
* Triple Talaq case (Shayra Bano Cri): Here the SC extended its authority.
* Taking Suo mottu with regards to COVID-19 mismanagement.
* In Anoop Baranwal case, SC decided the manner of appointment of CEC and EC.
This all instances shows how the SC had breached it's limit and given judgement on the purview of legislative & executive.
But at the same time, the SC has given the judgement to protect the rights of people as mandated under (Article 32) like Vidarbha guidelines.
These needs to be harmony between judicial review and other organs of the government.
Conclusion
We live in interconnected world and the presence of good neighbours is need of hours. However, the basic structure was intended to protect against majoritarian impulses but it is being caused by people & other organs of the government as means of Judicial overreach. These needs to be harmony between judicial review and other organs of the government.
