Former Supreme Court judge Justice Abhay S. Oka responded to Sanjeev Sanyal’s remark, saying that criticism of the judiciary is acceptable, but one must show proof that court orders have actually hindered development or violated the Constitution, not make sweeping claims.
Senior Advocate Vikas Pahwa sent a strongly worded letter to Sanjeev Sanyal, member of the PM’s Economic Advisory Council, asserting that the judiciary does not block progress but upholds development, constitutional values, and protects liberty. Earlier, Sanyal called it the biggest hurdle to India’s ‘Viksit Bharat’ goal.
