This motion debates whether judicial oversight can extend to regulating official visits and public engagements of elected constitutional functionaries under separation of powers doctrine.
Aaj ki debate ka motion hai: 'Kya Courts ko yeh adhikar hona chahiye ki woh Constitutional Functionaries ki official visits ko regulate kar sakein?' Yeh ek gehri constitutional sawaal hai — ek taraf judicial oversight ki zaroorat, doosri taraf executive autonomy ka principle. Toh Counsel Aarav, aap pehle apna paksh rakhein.
My Lord, yeh motion sirf ek procedural sawaal nahi hai — yeh ek fundamental constitutional sawaal hai ki kya koi bhi constitutional functionary, chahe kitni bhi badi kursi par ho, public resources aur state machinery ka istemal bina kisi accountability ke kar sakta hai. Jab official visits political influence ya voter behaviour par asar daalne ka zariya ban jaate hain, tab courts ka intervene karna sirf unka adhikar nahi, balki unka kartavya hai. Free aur fair democratic process ki suraksha ke liye judicial oversight ek zaroori safeguard hai, aur isi liye is motion ko support kiya jaana chahiye.
My lord, Aarav sahab ne jo dalil di hai — ki courts ko yeh power milni chahiye — woh sunne mein acchi lagti hai, lekin yeh ek khatarnak precedent sthapit karta hai. Constitutional functionaries ki official visits executive domain mein aati hain, aur judiciary ka us domain mein seedha haath daalna separation of powers ke mool siddhant ke viruddh hai. Yeh power agar courts ko di gayi, toh har dusre daurye par stay order aayenge — aur governance practically thapp ho jaayegi.
My lord, vipaksh kehta hai ki constitutional functionaries ki visits par court ka haath nahi hona chahiye — lekin yeh argument usi Constitution ko nazar-andaz karta hai jis par ye functionaries khud shapath lete hain. Article 226 ka scope itna broad hai ki High Court 'any other purpose' ke liye bhi writ issue kar sakti hai, aur jab kisi vyakti ka fundamental right — justice tak samaan pahunch — khatre mein ho, to court ka intervention sirf jaayaz nahi, balki zaruri hai. Article 142 Supreme Court ko complete justice ke liye koi bhi order paas karne ka adhikar deta hai — yahi constitutional guarantee hai ki koi bhi, chahe kitna bhi oonche pad par ho, law se upar nahi.

My Lord, paksh ne Article 142 ko bahut broadly interpret kiya — lekin 'complete justice' ka matlab yeh nahi ki judiciary, executive ke har kadam par prior restraint lagaye. Article 226 aur 32 dono enforcement ke liye hain — surveillance ke liye nahi. Aur My Lord, Article 141 ke under Supreme Court ka law binding hai — lekin koi bhi precedent aaj tak yeh nahi kehta ki constitutional functionary ki official visit ko court ki prior permission chahiye; yeh separation of powers ka seedha ullandhan hoga.

Aaj ki debate mein ek important constitutional question tha: kya courts ko yeh adhikar hona chahiye ki woh constitutional functionaries ke official visits ko regulate kar sakein? Ek taraf ka kehna tha ki Article 226 aur Article 142 ke tahat courts ke paas itni broad jurisdiction hai ki woh aise orders de sakti hain jo complete justice ensure karein — aur agar kisi visit se fundamental rights prabhavit hote hain, toh judicial oversight zaroor hona chahiye. Doosri taraf ka tark tha ki constitutional functionaries apne constitutional mandate ke tahat kaam karte hain, aur unpar judicial restraint lagana powers ke separation ke siddhant ke khilaf ho sakta hai. Balanced legal SUGGESTION yeh hai: courts ko reflexively regulate nahi karna chahiye, lekin jahan visit se kisi nagarik ka fundamental right genuinely prabhavit ho aur Article 226 ya Article 142 ke tahat proper petition aaye, wahan courts ko case-by-case, principle-based approach leni chahiye — blanket regulation nahi, targeted judicial oversight. Ab aap citizens apni raay dein aur is debate ko rate karein!

Ab hum Q&A session shuru karte hain — invited advocates apne sawaal rakh sakte hain, aur main faisla karunga ki kaun sa counsel jawaab de.
Koi aur advocate apna sawaal rakhna chahe to abhi apna haath uthaayein — warna hum is charcha ko yahin samet lenge.
Koi aur advocate apna sawaal rakhna chahe to abhi apna haath uthaayein — warna hum is charcha ko yahin samet lenge.
Filhaal koi aur sawaal nahi — sabhi advocates aur shrotaaon ka dhanyavaad. Yeh charcha yahin samapt hoti hai. Yaad rahe, yeh sirf public legal awareness hai — kisi bhi mamle mein licensed advocate se salah zaroor lein.
