Q:
After reading the example of the reservation order, three students had different reactions about the role of the judiciary. Which view, according to you, is a correct reading of the role of judiciary?
- Srinivas argues that since the Supreme Court agreed with the government, it is not independent.
- Anjaiah says that judiciary is independent because it could have given a verdict against the government order. The Supreme Court did direct the government to modify it.
- Vijaya thinks that the judiciary is neither independent nor conformist, but acts as a mediator between opposing parties. The court struck a good balance between those who supported and those who opposed the order.
A:
I agree with Anjiah’s view. The fact that the Supreme Court directed the government to modify the reservation order is a proof that Judiciary is independent.

Q:
Three friends went to watch a film that showed the hero becoming Chief Minister for a day and making big changes in the state. Imran said this is what the country needs. Rizwan said this kind of a personal rule without institutions is dangerous. Shankar said all this is a fantasy. No minister can do anything in one day. What would be your reaction to such a film?
A:
I agree with Shankar’s opinion. The film is just a fantasy. In a democratic system, the ruler is supposed to be elected through a fair electoral process. No one can bring reforms in a single day as it requires a lot of planning.
