Lesson-1
It is little difficult to suppress a
sense of disquiet over the Supremecourt's directions on police and students
union election reforms. No one will question the urgent need for change,
indeed, a deep an abiding one, in both these institutions. But perhaps a
greater reforms is needed to make our democratic system work the way it should.
In a democratic society, the task of making laws belongs to elected assemblies,
and of executing them to a government comprising largely of elected
legislators. The courts are meant to interpret laws and rules, not make them.
In recent years, failures of government have led to an unconscionable and
uncomfortable tilt judicial activism that has undermined the basic balance.
The problem worth court verdicts is,
as Andrew Jackson once declared in another context, that they require some
other authority to execute them. That institution can only be the government.
Weak governments often find courts a convenient crutch to conduct their work,
as did the Delhi government in pushing for the use of CNG fuel for public
transport. But this doesn't always work. Witness the emerging clash on the
issue of demolitions anssealings.
At the sane time, however, we connot
but applaud the proposals mooted by the apex court to reform the police
services and the students' Union elections. But it would have been much better
if the executive had come forward on its proposals. For example, the sum of
Rs.5,000, proposed as a ceiling for students' union elections, will not even
cover the cost of poster paper, paint and fuel for mid-sized college election.
Police reforms, too, need to be viewed through realistic lences. The reason why
the various police commission recommendations remain unemployment is because
the political class finds it too useful to control transfers and postings of
its personal.
