The irritants betweeen the judiciary and the excecutive

Justice Ajit Praksh Shah in his article ,in the Hindu  ‘’The attack on  the last bastion  of judiciary’’ is fully echoing the worry of the civil society, the academicians, historians, media and the honest politicians over the verbal exchanges between the judiciary , particularly the supreme court and the executive. The news following  public are aware of  the helplessness  of the supreme  court over the practical difficulties it encounters due to the delayed approval granted by the executive to the list of judges sent by the collegium.

 When  we have been  observing in recent decade all the attempts taken to kill one by one all the institutions  of democracy , any  attempt to tame or silence the judiciary too will become an additional and serious worry , because the general public have pinned their faith only on judiciary  for final justice in all types of disputes .If the judiciary accepts the criticism of lack of accountability and transparency in collegium appointment of judges and if the executive  accepts and understands  the hurdles it creates for the SUPREME COURT’S  efficient functioning by delayed approval of judges , both should try to sort out the hurdles in a mature and responsible way for the way of coordinated functioning  of the judiciary and executive . .
