The government is playing a delaying game with the judiciary on their orders which they are required to implement in letter and spirit. The Chief Executive appears to be playing the role of an “obedient PM” who does not directly oppose the SC but at the same time wants to complete his tenure by following instructions from his party chief. Whenever a confrontation is created by one of the people’s minister, he tries to appease all concerned.
The SC is showing extraordinary patience in dealing with the non-cooperating attitude of the government. Why they are doing this is not understood by a common man. Do they also want the present government to carry on like this for another two years? Won’t they like to have the orders as old as 25 months be implemented without further delay?
They have the constitutional means to make the government obey and not delay for “justice delayed is justice denied.” Let us have complete trust and harmony among the Executive and SC. I hope that good sense prevails upon all.
