Not a welcome trend

Sir, - The recent forays of the judicial authorities into what must be deemed the executive domain are surely not welcome. It is not the work of judges to suggest the location of industries, or the number of vehicles on the road. Converting the Supreme Court registry into a regional transport office could have been avoided. Sometimes what is desirable is not administratively feasible.

Sir, - In recent times the Supreme Court has put itself in situations wherein it has appeared to be out of sync with the realities of our dynamic polity. Perhaps in our zeal to find solutions to every malady from the judiciary, we have denied it the much needed measures that would make it suitable for the rapidly changing polity of India. Contempt of court notice and the like apparatuses are inadequate to deal with the crisis. Widespread recourse to such measures will further entrench the impression that our judiciary is clueless about the goings on in today's India.
