Separation of Powers: The Bat, Ball, and Umpire Analogy

Imagine you're watching a heated T20 match, aur aapko lagta hai ki match fix hai (and you think the match is fixed). Suddenly, the umpire is playing the game, batting, bowling, and umpiring bhi (and umpiring too). This is like a nightmare for any cricket fan! But this is exactly what can happen if the separation of powers is breached. The three branches of government - the legislative (Parliament), executive (PM), and judiciary (Supreme Court) - are like the bat, ball, and umpire. Ideally, each one has specific roles to play and no one branch should overstep the others. Just like in cricket, if the umpire starts playing, the game becomes unfair and biased.
