| > You should read the Constitution before making random statements like these The NJAC ruling still stands in 2024 and that set the precedent for judicial primacy in India. Until a constitutional amendment gets passed that legislates a direct path forward, it will stand. > The US has Marbury v. Madison And India has SCAORA v. UOI 2014 which is functionally the same. > BSD BSD is functionally the same as the American constitution and Bill of Rights. > If the President asked the judges to go pound sand, there is nothing can can do about it except hold a press conference The President in the US is the executive, not the legislative branch. > every part of the Supreme Court (size, age of the judges etc) is in the hands of Parliament This is the same in the US, but for customary reasons Congress has not touched this can of worms. The same showdown Modi and the Collegium had over NJAC is very similar to the showdown FDR and the Supreme Court had over the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937. Modi ended up in the same position and the exact same kind of loss like FDR did in 1937. |
