While we respect the judiciary and have the utmost reverence for their judgements, I think each institution must respect this doctrine. This would entail a healthy functioning of our democratic polity,&#8217; Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari said.<\/p>\n<p>He said for a healthy democratic polity maintaining appropriate functioning of all institutions was essential.<\/p>\n<p>The party had earlier downplayed remarks of Supreme Court judge A. K. Ganguly at a seminar in Mumbai last week where he raised questions over Deshmukh&#8217;s continuance in the ministry. Deshmukh was shifted to rural development ministry in the cabinet reshuffle last month.<\/p>\n<p>Deshmukh had faced severe criticism from the Supreme Court last December for abusing his powers as Maharashtra chief minister.<\/p>\n<p>The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had sought an answer from the government over the issue in the wake of critical remarks made by the judge.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Ganguly had called Deshmukh&#8217;s shift by the United Progressive Alliance government from heavy industries to rural development &#8216;a shameless act&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>In its Dec 14 judgement, the Supreme Court had termed Deshmukh&#8217;s behaviour as incongruous and enhanced the fine of Rs.25,000 imposed by the Bombay High Court on the Maharashtra government to Rs.10 lakh.<\/p>\n<p>The apex court passed the judgment while dismissing the state government&#8217;s appeal challenging a high court order which had held that Deshmukh acted in violation of the law by using his influence as chief minister to prevent the police from registering a criminal case against a Congress legislator&#8217;s moneylender father.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Congress on Wednesday expressed reservations over a Supreme Court judge&#8217;s remarks about continuance of Vilasrao Deshmukh in the Union cabinet and said every institution must respect the doctrine of separation of power enshrined in the Constitution. &#8216;Within the constitutional scheme, there is a very time tested and enduring concept called the doctrine of separation [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[319,2174,2175],"class_list":["post-8826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-top-law-news","tag-congress","tag-doctrine-of-separation","tag-vilasrao-deshmukh"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Doctrine of separation of power must be respected: Congress  - Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp; High Court Updates<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Congress on Wednesday expressed reservations over a Supreme Court judge&#039;s remarks about continuance of Vilasrao Deshmukh in the Union cabinet and said - Get the latest legal news from the Supreme Court, High Courts, and government.
