Judiciary for better functioning of executive: SC

Judiciary for better functioning of executive: SC New Delhi, Apr 9 (UNI) The Centre and the Supreme Court today once again had a confrontation on the issue of judicial activism in the form of entertaining PILs. Additional Solicitor General(ASG) Vikas Singh told the three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan that courts should not entertain PILs on executive order. He further added that High Courts were going beyond their constitutional mandate by encroaching into the domain of the executive and courts should not entertain any petition against the policy matters. To which, Chief Justice responded angrily, '' If (the) executive is not functioning who will protect the right of the common man. Will he go to the chief minister?''
