Addressing a group of Rajya Sabha interns, he said, “So we have judges who will legislate, who will perform executive functions, who will act as super Parliament, and absolutely have no accountability because law of the land does not apply to them”.
Dhankhar said his worries were at a “very highest level” and he had never thought in “my life” that he will have the occasion to see it.
He reminded the audience that the President of India is a very elevated position. President takes oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.
Others, including ministers, the vice president, parliamentarians and judges take oath to abide by the Constitution.
“We cannot have a situation where you direct the President of India and on what basis? The only right you have under the Constitution is to interpret the Constitution under Article 145(3). There it has to be five judges or more …,” he said. PTI NAB NAB DV DV
