Mumbai: Dismissing allegations of government trampling on the independence of judiciary, BJP general secretary Ram Madhav on Saturday said both the executive as well as the judiciary are working within “their limits”.
“Not true, not true,” he told PTI, when asked about allegations of the government intruding into judiciary’s territory by showing reluctance to elevate Uttarakhand High Court Chief Justice KM Joseph to the Supreme Court.
“The judiciary has its own prerogatives, the government has its own prerogatives. Both are (working) within their limits,” Madhav said.
When asked about a likely scenario where Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra-led collegium of the Supreme Court reiterates its stance and presses for justice Joseph’s elevation, Madhav declined to answer saying it was a hypothetical question.
