The Reality of Judicial Activism in Court
jurisprudence clat_ug advanced internship_learnI visited a local court and saw a case related to Raja Ramchandra (1973) vs State of M.P. The textbook explained judicial activism, but seeing it in action was surreal. The judge literally took charge of the proceedings, asking lawyers tough questions and making them explain each point in detail. It was like a courtroom debate, not just a one-way lecture where the judge gives verdicts. I realized that judicial activism isn't just about overstepping boundaries, but also about ensuring justice is served. The judge in this case was so involved that I thought he was going to order a re-enactment of the whole incident right there in the courtroom. It was eye-opening to see how it's not just about laws, but also about ensuring fairness. 'Ye section sapne mein aata hai ab!'
"Judicial activism ka hai kuch vichaar yeh, ki judges unke personal vichar aur daromad ke adhar par verdicts dene lagte hain, jissey court ki impartiality affect hoti hai. Lekin yeh sacha hai ki judges bhi samasyaon ka sanrachna samjhne ke liye kuch naya tareeka apnana padte hain, jisse justice ki dastak khulti rahe.
