Question

Question 10 After reading the example of the reservation order, three students had different reactions about the role of the judiciary. Which view, according to you, is a correct reading of the role of judiciary?
(a) Srinivas argues that since the Supreme Court agreed with the government, it is not independent.
(b) Anjaiah says that judiciary is independent because it could have given a verdict against the government order. The Supreme Court did direct the government to modify it.
(c) Vijaya thinks that the judiciary is neither independent nor conformist, but acts as a mediator between opposing parties. The court struck a good balance between those who supported and those who opposed the order.

View given by Anjaiah is correct.

 In India Judiciary is independent.

 Supreme Court of India in many cases has given judgement against the government order. In November 1992 the supreme court held the order of  V .P Singh’s government on reservation to be valid.

 Supreme court also stated that the maximum size of all the reservation together must not exceed 50%.
