After reading the example of the reservation order, three students had different reactions about the role of the judiciary. Which view, according to you, is correct reading of the role of judiciary?

(a) Srinivas argues that since the Supreme Court agreed with the government, it is not independent.


(b) Anjaiah says that judiciary is independent because it could have given a verdict against the government order. The Supreme Court did direct the government to modify it.


(c) Vijaya thinks that the judiciary is neither independent nor conformist, but acts as a mediator between opposing parties. The court struck a good balance between those who supported and those who opposed the order.

From the above three statements, the view of Anjaiah is correct as judiciary is independent organ of our country. It can also give a verdict against the government order. The Supreme Court of our country can also direct the government to modify it.
