Venkaiah Naidu said the Constitution has clearly defined roles for the executive, the legislature and the judiciary and none should "think they are supreme and overstep their limits".
Former vice president M Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday upheld the supremacy of the legislature in law-making and asserted that the judiciary has no role in the process.
Addressing the National Legislators Conference here, Mr Naidu said the Constitution has clearly defined roles for the executive, the legislature and the judiciary and none should "think they are supreme and overstep their limits".
"The legislative powers are solely given to the legislative bodies. Whether legislation is in accordance with the Constitutional provision or not, let the courts decide. But, courts cannot make legislation. The judiciary cannot make legislation, this has to be borne in mind," the former vice president said.
"The legislature decides, the executive implements and finally if anybody violates the provisions one can go to court. The judiciary must be dynamic and they must dispose of at the earliest," Mr Naidu said.
