New Delhi: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar expressed displeasure over the Supreme Court’s statement stating that the President and the Governor should be given a certain time limit to approve the bill. He said, “The courts cannot issue orders to the President. Also, the special powers given to the courts under Article 142 of the Constitution have now become” nuclear weapons “to pressurize other institutions of democracy.” He also criticized the courts and said that he is currently behaving like a ‘Super Parliament’.
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar also asked, ‘Why no FIR was filed in the case of Justice Yashwant Verma?’ Now the question is arising as to who can order to register an FIR against a judge, and whether the Vice President has the right to register an FIR against a judge. Meanwhile, on 8 April, the Supreme Court gave an important verdict in the case of Tamil Nadu Governor vs. State Government, in which the Governor’s powers were clearly limited. A bench of Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice R. Mahadevan said, “The Governor does not have veto power.” This has been clarified. Also, in the same case, the Supreme Court declared the Governor’s decision to refuse to approve 10 important government bills illegal.
In view of this decision of the court, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar also criticized the role of the judiciary and raised questions. Why has an FIR not yet filed in the case of cash lit at the residence of Justice Yashwant Verma? We have some judges here who make laws, use executive powers, and still consider themselves as ‘Super Parliament’. Does the law of the country not apply to them? “Who will determine their responsibilities?” He also raised this question: “In democracy, the elected government is supreme.” All institutions will have to work within their constitutional boundaries. He also clarified that, “No institution can be superior to the constitution.”
Dhankar also questioned the three judges appointed by the Supreme Court to investigate the Justice Verma case. According to him, such committees only have the right to make recommendations, Parliament has the right to take action. If a similar incident happened in the house of a common citizen, the police and investigative agencies would have become active immediately. “The judiciary is always respected, but the delay in this matter has created confusion in the public.” Dhankhar also clarified this.
The Supreme Court has given important instructions on the process of deciding on the bills sent by the Governor to the President. The Supreme Court has clarified that the President will have to take a decision on the bills received from the Governor within three months.
The Supreme Court gave a historic verdict on 8 April on the dispute between the Tamil Nadu government and the Governor. In this decision, the court had said that the Governor should give a decision on the bills passed by the Legislative Assembly within a month. In view of this decision, in the order issued on 11 April, the Supreme Court also clarified its position on the Bills sent by the Governor to the President.
