Government Conflict with Judiciary
Three major issues happened between the government and the judiciary. These issues were related to the constitution where the government and judiciary became the opponents. Here are the three reasons as mentioned below.
- The parliament can abridge the Fundamental Rights and Supreme Court was against it.
- If parliament curtails any rights related to property, the court can reject the amendment.
- An amendment allows the parliament to abridge the Fundamental Rights of DPSP which was also rejected by the court.
The three problems created so many problems between the government and the judiciary. At this movement, on 12th June 1975, the Allahabad High Court declared that Indira Gandhi’s Lok Sabha contest was invalid. In its judgment, the high court clearly said that Indira Gandhi could not be the Prime Minister anymore and she could not be re-elected for the next six months as an MP. On 24th June, the Supreme Court of India granted a partial stay order on the High Court’s judgment. These causes fueld up the wish of declaring Emergency.
