What remedy common man has if the Supreme Court goes against the will of the common man?

Question

This question stems from court's recent stance on various issues:

1. Sealing in Delhi
2. Demolition in Delhi.
3. Admissions in nursery.

With the increased interference of the court, aren't we moving towards judicracy rather than democracy

Answer 1

Bless your stars at least we have the Supreme Court of India to which is doing some thing positive in favor of common man like you & me. In Delhi & other places too the local politicians in order to gain their popularity have been allowing the misuse of residential properties for commercial use which has increased lots of confusion along with traffic, pollution, misuse of electricity , water & other essential utilities by few of the commercial groups. It’s on the request of the local residence the Supreme Court became active & started the process of sealing & demolition of unauthorized buildings. The local government failed to control the mushrooming of all such unauthorized activities hence the court came out to help the common people in large. At least with the concern the courts have for us we feel we still live in a democratic society otherwise these corrupt politicians had left no stone unturned in making the society dirty with their activities

Answer 2

The question is some what presumptuous, meaning thereby that the supreme court is against the interest of common man and the legislatures that is politicians are for the common man. The history of our country is evidence that it is the politicians who have been selling the interest of common man or the nation for their personal benefit.
The country was partitioned not according to dictates of supreme court. The Kashmir issue was not taken to UNO because of supreme court. Like wise the sealing in Delhi or the demolitions in Delhi was owing to the selfish designs of a few men who bribed the officials and got things done their way at the cost of the long term interest of the common man.
Even the reservation issue of OBCs without eliminating the creamy layer is being imposed on the country to serve the short term interests of selfish politicians who all have amassed enormous wealth for themselves and their families, and not for the long term benefits of the common Indians.
If the politicians of today are allowed to have their way they will sell the country for their immediate benefit, be they S.Sri Lalu, V.P.Singh, Ram Vilas Paswan, Karunanidhi, Arjun Singh or even Man Mohan Singh who are playing to the galaries and seeking reservations beyond 50% , what has been permitted by the constitution.

Answer 3

One of the purposes of the Supreme Court is to make sure that the common man's whims do not circumvent the Constitution and Bill Of Rights.....

For example, because to the way the wind blows, there have been times in this country when the common man would have wanted to do things that were unconstitutional (lock up all of the Muslims after 9/11), the Supreme Court is there to make sure that the wind does not affect people's basic rights.....

If the common man wanted to vote to bring back slavery....the Supreme Court would stop them.....

The court plays an important role in controlling the "tyranny of the majority."

Answer 4

This is presumably a question about the Supreme Court in India.

In the US, we have the option to change our government at the ballot box, but not to change the Supreme Court until a justice dies or retires.

The US system needs term limits. Two hundred years ago, we could expect a fairly quick turnover of justices, but with modern medicine, they can sit on the bench for 50 years, effectively slowing change. I would advocate that we limit US Supreme Court Justices to a 15 year term.

In India, you may not have the same options, since I'm not sure how well the government reflects the views of the electorate.

Answer 5

The WILL of the common man must corroborate with the existing laws of the Land. If, with the passage of time, some laws prove to be anti-people and as such needs amendment, the People's representatives should place such matters before the Parliament and initiate necessary Bills to modify,rectify,amend such provisions. The Appex Court can do nothing unless such amendments are passed and implemented.

when supreme court gose against the will of commen men than there is no remedy because SC is the APEX court and we cannot asked the president we just amended the constitution then the SC decision, for example in pakistan SC ordered that festivel of basant is not celeberated but the provencial government changed it throughe amended in costitution so president also not goes against the SC.

Answer 8

Move to another area. There is no court up in the Artic Circle. Check out South POLE. Sail the Mediterranean!

Answer 9

SC is not bad. SC decide after giving FULL CHANCE to all parties. Wrong doers has no answer / argument so they feel that they are betrayed.
You can go to any Court for any problem. Court will surely listen to you and your opponents. You can raise any toplic as you do on yahoo. Enchroahment should MUSTbe removed. It is bad for ladies, children, handicapped, senior citizens. Shopkeepers force us to walk on road in high traffic.

Answer 10

Lobby to get the Constitution amended. The Supreme Court is supposed to base their rulings on the Constitution. If you don't like their rulings, amend the Constitution.
