Parliamentary Panel's Supreme Court Visit Proposal Sparks Separation of Powers Debate

The Hindu · india

A proposed visit by a Joint Parliamentary Committee to the Supreme Court to discuss 'One Nation, One Election' Bills has ignited a debate on the separation of powers. The committee, examining Bills for simultaneous Lok Sabha and State Assembly elections, faced objections from the Opposition. Critics argued that consulting sitting Judges on legislation Parliament is considering, and which could later be challenged in court, blurs the distinct constitutional roles of the legislature and judiciary.
