Judicial Activism , Constitutional Challenges in the United States

    Mega projects in the State are difficult to be protected under constitutional jurisdiction. It is difficult fora judge to make any decision in the light of a prevailing law legislated by a parliament. The changing image of courts has culminated in the role of the legislature as the subservient organ, which no more remains a supreme body in the State. This factor badly affected the democratic development in the State. This new trend has originated in court-centric and imperialistic judges who have to play their role beyond the constitutional parameters to redress the core issues of society.
