Chief Justice of India N V Ramana today said the Constitution provides separation of power among the three organs of the state, and one should be mindful of the ‘Lakshman Rekha’ while discharging their duty.
He was speaking at the Joint Conference of Chief Ministers and Chief Justices of High Courts, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Constitution provides separation of power among three organs and the harmonious function between three organs strengthens democracy. While discharging our duty, we should be mindful of Lakshman Rekha,” said the Chief Justice of India.
He said deliberate inaction by governments despite judicial pronouncements is not good for the health of democracy.
Justice Ramana also voiced his concern over the misuse of Public Interest Litigations (PIL). “PILs have now turned into “Personal Interest Litigation” and are used to settle personal scores,” he said.
