New Delhi, March 22: Separation of power is binding. If it is binding on all, it is equally binding on the judiciary, Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad told the Lok Sabha while responding to supplementaries during the Question Hour.
The government also said if the country can trust the Prime Minister with the nuclear button, why cannot he be trusted for appointing excellent people as judges through his Law Minister. He said that in the Kesavananda Bharati vs State of Kerala judgment, the apex court had clearly laid out separation of powers between the three pillars of the State. The Minister added that Legislature will formulate law, the executive will execute it and the judiciary will interpret the law.(Input from agencies)
