NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today expressed anguish over the criticism that it was trying to “run the Government”, saying the judiciary is blamed if it points out that the executive is not doing its job.
The stinging remarks by the Apex Court came when it was hearing a matter relating to providing shelter to the urban homeless in the country, during which it took to task Uttar Pradesh Government and said “your machinery appears to have failed”.
“If you people cannot work, say so, that you are not able to do it,” a bench of Justices Madan B Lokur and Deepak Gupta said.
“We are not the executive. You do not do your work and when we say something, we are criticized by everybody in the country that we are trying to run the Government, run the country,” the bench said. (AGENCIES)
