'Judiciary Acting as Super-Parliament', Says Dhankhar; Terms Article 142 a 'Nuclear Missile' Against Democracy

In a recent statement, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar criticized the judiciary for acting as a "super Parliament" and described Article 142 of the Indian Constitution as a "nuclear missile" aimed at democracy. Speaking at the 83rd All India Presiding Officers Conference in Jaipur, Dhankhar expressed concerns over the judiciary's use of Article 142, which grants the Supreme Court the power to pass any order necessary for doing complete justice in any case. He argued that this power has been used to override parliamentary laws and decisions, thereby undermining the democratic process. Dhankhar emphasized the need for a clear demarcation of roles between the judiciary and the legislature to maintain the balance of power and uphold democratic principles.
