    "content": "But constant experience shows us that every man invested with power is apt to abuse it and carry his authority as far as it will go. There will be no freedom anyway if the judicial body is not separated from the legislative and executive authorities.” The whole idea of separation of powers under our Constitution is to create separate branches of Government with equal, but different powers. Each arm of Government must exercise its powers in a fine balancing act to ensure that it properly and effectively carries out its functions while at the same time, it does not infringe on the powers and responsibilities of the other branches of Government. Parliament must call out any attempts to freeze the discharge of its constitutional duties. While it shall tremendously respect the Executive and the Judiciary, it shall not entertain any condescending behaviour from any of the other two arms of Government or from any quarters whatsoever.
