'Parl can’t script an SC judgment & SC can’t script a law for us'

New Delhi: Vice President Dhankhar Sunday cautioned against “incursion into” Parliament’s domain of lawmaking and asserted the “need to ensure there is no sacrilege of either organ”.

Dhankhar was speaking at an event organised by the Ministry of Law & Justice to commemorate the Constitution Day celebrations, reports The Print. In his speech, Dhankhar reflected on the power of the three organs of the state — Parliament, Executive and Judiciary — and delineated the roles outlined for them under constitutional democracy.

“The legislature should be free to enact laws, the executive should be free to implement any law, and the judiciary should be free to interpret laws,” he said.

“Constitutional provision allowing interpretative power to the Supreme Court regarding legislations is a small slit and it cannot be a floodgate and we have to extremely worried about this. I am sure people with the kind of nationalism they have, these issues will be thrashed out so that Bharat rises,” Dhankhar added.
