What are the views of Justice Lokur regarding the Supreme Court's role in monitoring the wrestlers' protest

Elaborate on the statement made by Justice Lokur about the Supreme Court's handling of the wrestlers' protest. Discuss the implications of the situation.
Justice Madan Lokur, a former judge of the Supreme Court, has expressed his disagreement with the court's role in monitoring the protest of the wrestlers outside the Karni Singh Stadium. In a recent interview, he stated that 'the Supreme Court should not get involved in every matter that happens in the country.' Here are some of the implications of Justice Lokur's statement:
  • Justice Lokur believes that the Supreme Court should not involve itself in matters that do not involve legal issues or constitutional questions.
  • He believes that the court should not interfere in matters that fall within the jurisdiction of other authorities, such as the police or the executive.
  • Justice Lokur's comments suggest that he is concerned about the credibility and image of the Supreme Court being tainted by its involvement in multiple controversies, particularly those that do not fall under its jurisdiction.
  • His statement seems to indicate that in his opinion, the Supreme Court should focus on more pressing legal and constitutional issues that require its attention, rather than issues that can be dealt with by other authorities.
  • Overall, Justice Lokur's comments raise questions about the threshold for Supreme Court involvement in public protests or other non-legal issues, and its role in upholding the constitution while not overreaching its authority.
In summary, Justice Lokur's remarks on the Supreme Court's role in the wrestler's protest show his preference for limiting the court's involvement in non-legal and non-constitutional issues and allowing other authorities to take charge in such matters.
