New Delhi: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar<\/a> on Thursday questioned the Supreme Court<\/a> for setting a timeline for the President to take decisions, asserting that SC cannot fire a “nuclear missile” at democratic forces<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“So, we have judges who will legislate, who will perform executive functions, who will act as super Parliament<\/a> and absolutely have no accountability because the law of the land does not apply to them,” Dhankhar said during his speech to Rajya Sabha<\/a> interns on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He termed Article 142, which grants ‘plenary powers’ to SC, as a “nuclear missile against democratic forces available to the judiciary 24×7”. Article 142<\/a> of the Constitution gives SC the power to issue orders that ensure “complete justice” in any matter before it. <\/p>\n

“There is a directive to the President by a recent judgment. Where are we heading? What is happening in the country? We have to be extremely sensitive. It is not a question of someone filing a review or not. We never bargained for democracy for this day. President being called upon to decide in a time-bound manner, and if not, becomes law,” Dhankhar said.<\/p>\n

Dhankhar also questioned lack of an FIR in the case of discovery of wads of burnt cash from the residence of a high court judge<\/a>, wondering whether a “category beyond law” has secured immunity from prosecution. “If the event had taken place at his (common man’s) house, the speed would have been an electronic rocket. Now it is not even a cattle cart,” Dhankhar said. He questioned the legal standing of the three-judge panel carrying out an in-house probe into the matter, adding that every Indian is deeply concerned.<\/p>\n

“The kind of mechanism we have for judges, the only action finally that can be taken is by Parliament (by way of removal of the judge),” he said.Stating that investigation is the domain of executive not judiciary, Dhankhar wondered whether a “category beyond law” has secured immunity from prosecution.”Time has come when our three institutions – legislature, judiciary and executive – must blossom… Any incursion…poses a challenge, which is not good,” Dhankhar said.
