Debates the extent courts should intervene in policy. Judicial restraint advocates minimal interference, respecting the legislature’s and executive’s domain. Judicial activism supports proactive stances to fill legislative gaps or protect rights. While activism has led to progressive decisions on environmental issues, women’s rights, and corruption, excessive activism risks overshadowing elected bodies. Restraint ensures stability and democratic respect. Balancing both is key—courts must uphold constitutional principles yet avoid legislative or policy-making roles. Understanding this spectrum helps contextualize judgments that shape the interplay of law, politics, and social reforms in India’s constitutional democracy.
