The People have the right to criticize the judges? Who is the supreme power in The Indian Democracy? Judiciary or the PEOPLE? Is J. Harun Al Rashid not aware abt the fundamentals of democracy? “THE BASIC principle in a democracy is that the people are supreme. It follows that all authorities — whether judges, legislators, Ministers, bureaucrats — are servants of the people. Once this concept of popular sovereignty is kept firmly in mind, it becomes obvious that the people of India are the masters and all authorities (including the courts) are their servants. Surely, the master has the right to criticize the servant if the servant does not act or behave properly. It would logically follow that in a democracy the people have the right to criticise judges.” _Justice Markandey Katju, The Hindu, Monday, Jan 22, 2007
