BJP MP's attack on judiciary. Is Supreme Court really overreaching? Experts debate

A huge political row erupted after BJP Lok Sabha MP Nishikant Dubey slammed the judiciary, accusing it of trying to invade the executive's powers and jurisdiction. Dubey said that when the Supreme Court has to make laws, the Parliament should be shut down. While BJP president JP Nadda was quick to distance the party from Dubey's remarks, the opposition criticised him for attacking the judiciary.

Nevertheless, Nishikant Dubey's statement has triggered a wider debate about the role of the judiciary. Is the Supreme Court really overreaching when it dictates the executive? Experts debate.
