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 a 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.​
